Based on the Tim Burton movie and featuring the music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.
In a castle high on a hill lives Edward, a boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his creator dies, he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family. Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within?
