kirikou et la sorcière – persephone's corner

leias:

_{She doesn’t like children, she despises women, she hates men and she wants to do them all the harm she can. Because she is in pain. She suffers night and day without respite. Because somebody once pushed a poisonous thorn into her spinal cord. […] But if she thought that someone knew the secret of her thorn and wanted to pull it out, she would kill them. If someone pulled out that thorn she would feel more pain in that moment than you can possibly imagine. She had some inkling of that terrible pain when some men seized her and held her fast while another drove in the thorn. She would never want to go through that again.
Kirikou et la sorcière (1998) dir. Michel Ocelot}
