Une petite fille qui s'ennuie, une boîte à musique, un bois étrange et une source cachée dont l'eau rend immortel. C'est le début d'une histoire qui ressemble à un conte, où le réel se mêle si bien au rêve que l'on y croit vraiment. Et c'est aussi le départ d'une belle amitié.

Längst hat sich unter Insidern herumgesprochen, daß im Himmel nur gepflegte Langeweile herrscht. In der Hölle dagegen ist buchstäblich der Teufel los.

Er stiftet Unruhe und Verwirrung, wobei ihm eher ungewollt so manch gutes Werk unterläuft. Dieses in glutrote Bilder getauchte Höllenbrevier ist der ideale Einstieg in die Unterwelt.

Alors, pour se changer les idées, le Diable descend, de temps en temps, faire un petit tour sur terre pour y tenter quelque mauvais coup... Mais il n'est pas si facile que ça de duper les humains !
