In 19th-century Paris, Charles Desmoulin is a selfish and mischievous boy who carelessly destroys an enchanted world born from his imagination. As punishment, Eris, Queen of the Fairies, curses him with the responsibility of protecting his own shadow, which must never become detached from the light. To break the curse, Charles has only one day to cross Paris and reach the famous Universal Exposition organized by Luminos Eids (Thomas Edison).
