Storyboard Text
- Once upon a time, there was a king who had three beautiful daughters. The youngest, Psyche, was much more beautiful than her two sisters, and she looked like a goddess among mere mortals. The fame of her beauty had spread throughout the kingdom, and men came to her palace to admire and worship her.When people saw her, they used to say that even Aphrodite herself could not compete with Psyche. The more people Psyche came to know, the less the goddess of love and beauty would remember.
- The temples of Aphrodite were abandoned, the altars were covered with cold ashes, and the sculptors would no longer make statues for her. All the honours reserved for her were then attributed to a simple, mortal girl.The goddess could not accept such a situation and needed the help of her son, Eros. He told him in distress, Use your power and make this little shameless girl fall in love with the most vil and despicable creature on Earth.
- Eros agreed to do so, but as soon as he saw her, he felt his heart pierced by one of his own arrows.He couldn't make that charming maiden fall in love with a horrible creature, but he also decided not to tell his mother.

- A great wind picked her up and by the morningshe faced an imposing and magnificent castle. She could hear voices of her husband, but she couldnot see him and he would not reveal him self. She became very curious of her husband.
- Indeed, that night, when her husband fell asleep peacefully, she took courage and lit the candle. Walking on her toes she approached the bed and she felt a deep relief. The light did not show a monster but the most beautiful of men. Ashamed by her madness and her little confidence, Psyche fell down on her knees and thanked gods for this happiness. But while he was leaning on him, a drop of oil fell from the candle on the back of that handsome, young man. He woke up in pain and saw the light. He looked her at the eyes and, facing Psyche's distrust, he left their bedroom without uttering a single word.
