Incessantly charming comedy about a hotel clerk who meets a strange young woman who claims to be a fairy and grants him three wishes. But when she is captured and put in a mental hospital, he sets out to rescue her. Drolly comical in the style of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton, THE FAIRY is a charming absurdist comedy from the creators of RUMBA.
