Presentation
Once upon a time...
In a distant kingdom, a young prince falls victim to a terrible
fate: his heart, encased in a crystal shell, can neither vibrate nor love. Only a burning fire of love can melt the crystal and free his heart.
Although he is old enough to marry, and despite all his efforts, no woman inspires this love in him. Thus, he decides to set off on the roads of the world, in search of the one who will deliver him from the curse. Strewn with many obstacles, his quest leads him to meditate on the meaning of life, but also to discover the terrible secret that weighs on his birth.
