Lili

Orphan Lili Daurier joins a carnival and falls under the spell of its star, a suave magician, but it is the show's crippled, embittered puppeteer who truly loves Lili, a love he can express only through his puppets, as the orphaned young woman becomes part of a puppet act and forms a relationship with the anti-social puppeteer, dancing with her beloved puppets come to life.
