Jeanne had hoped that her wedding day would be a dream―a shining light through the oppressive fog of Dark Age France. 

Yet, that fantasy was horrifically ripped apart on her wedding night. While trying to survive in her waking nightmare, Jeanne encounters an impish apparition who offers to grant her power beyond her wildest wishes. But as the belladonna’s influence grows, so does the tragedy lying in wait to trample her.

The last film in the adult-themed Animerama trilogy produced by the godfather of Japanese anime and manga, Osamu Tezuka and directed by his long time collaborator Eiichi Yamamoto (Astro Boy and Kimba The White Lion), Belladonna of Sadness unfolds as a series of spectacular still watercolor paintings that bleed and twist together.
