H.R.H. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's original designs dramatically adorn a new adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's 1838 tale about a princess who releases her eleven brothers from the spell of their evil queen mother. Queen Margrethe's costumes and painterly sets, constructed from her decoupage art, are the actors' sole milieu. (Peter Flinth and Ghita Nørby, 2009, 35 mm, Danish with subtitles, 60 minutes)
