'This vivid re-imaging of the 19th century Brothers Grimm classic tells the story of The Bearskinner, a young soldier who has lost everything to war -- except his life. But, when the devil makes him a treacherous wager, he begins a seven-year journey to discover that a life without love, death or personal hygiene is not worth living. Wrapped in a bearskin, he is confronted by the Devil's mistresses at every turn as they attempt to seduce him into breaking his fiery pact.'
