Dunse’s elaborately animated film is a different take on this Grimm’s fairytale, and in a special language: German sign language. The film’s actors are deaf children who inhabit an enchanted world that they have created and brought to life. They sign the beautiful Snow White, the wicked poison-pushing stepmother, the all-knowing mirror and of course the seven dwarves.
