A Crane for a f***

A cloistered girl sees a crane. She wants it. The young man carrying it names his price—one she doesn’t understand, but pays all the same. As the bird comes and goes, so too do questions of innocence, value, and the patience of overworked nurses.

La damoiselle de la grue (The Crane), a feather-light fabliau with a sharp beak.
