DONKEY SKIN, a lyrical fantasy based on a fairy tale by Charles Perrault, takes place in a mythical kingdom where a queen's dying wish is that her husband remarry someone more beautiful than she. Unfortunately that woman turns out to be their daughter (played by Deneuve). After consulting her Fairy, the Princess conceives several schemes to escape her father, finally escaping in the skin of his favorite donkey and hiding in the outer reaches of the kingdom. In her new persona of "Donkey Skin," the princess lives life as a simple scullion, but eventually a handsome prince discovers the princess in hiding.
