Plot: After a mental breakdown, a young woman looks for help from a Psychologist and tells him about a recurring nightmare she keeps having. In this dream she is an innocent, virginal girl (the epitome of light) and is hunted through a German expressionistic world by a dark shadow. She has to realize with the help of this Psychologist, that both the girl and the shadow are a part of her subconscious mind and that she must face the part of her hunting her to be able to free herself from the nightmare. German Expressionism mainly inspires the style of the film as mentioned above. It is often linked to Psychoanalysis and the mental breakdown which starts the narrative is also rooted in Freud's theories.

Quotes:

Mrs. Berlingot: Angela! Angela, close that window! You know better than that!::Angela Berlingot: But it's Mytyl. She's got a bird.::Mrs. Berlingot: Yes, yes, but you're sick enough, dear, without catching your death of cold. Now close the window.::Angela Berlingot: Oh, Mother, I've always wanted a bird like this. Please ask her to give it to me.::Mrs. Berlingot: That one, she'd never give anybody anything.

Mytyl: Angela Berlingot wanted me to give it to her.::Mummy Tyl: Well, why didn't you? She needs something to cheer her up. Poor child, sick in bed all winter.::Mytyl: It's not my fault she's sick.::Mummy Tyl: It's your fault you're selfish.::Daddy Tyl: You have so much that she hasn't, Mytyl.::Mytyl: What do I have?::Daddy Tyl: Health, for one thing. You can run around and play.::Mytyl: Oh, that isn't anything.::Tyltyl: I wouldn't like to stay in bed all day.::Mytyl: I wouldn't mind.

Mytyl: Mummy, why do we have to be so poor all the time?::Mummy Tyl: Poor? Us?::Mytyl: Well, we are. We can't even have a party for Christmas.::Daddy Tyl: You have a roof over your head, haven't you? And warm clothes.::Mytyl: These old things?::Daddy Tyl: And plenty to eat.::Mytyl: Nothing I like! Nothing good! Not like those rich children have. Cakes, candies, dolls to play with, pretty dresses - everything! I have nothing.::Mummy Tyl: You have plenty.::Mytyl: What do I have?::Mummy Tyl: A father who works hard for you.::Daddy Tyl: And a mother who cooks and cleans and mends.

Mytyl: Oh Daddy, I don't want you to go.::Daddy Tyl: I have to go, darling.::Mytyl: Why do they have to have war? What makes war, anyway?::Daddy Tyl: The same things that make trouble everywhere. Greed. Selfishness. Those who aren't content with what they have.::Mytyl: But you're not like that, Daddy. Why should you have to go?::Daddy Tyl: That's what's wrong about it, Mytyl. You can't be unhappy inside yourself without making others unhappy, too.

Mytyl: Mummy, I'm sorry for the way I behaved at supper.::Mummy Tyl: That's what you always say, Mytyl, that you're sorry. But the next day you do the same thing right over again.::Mytyl: I know I do, and I don't know why.::Mummy Tyl: Well, you must find out why. Otherwise you'll always be unhappy and discontent. You don't want that, do you? You want to be happy, don't you?::Mytyl: Yes, Mummy. Like you. You're happy all the time, aren't you?::Mummy Tyl: Nearly all the time, dear.::Mytyl: Don't worry, Mummy. Daddy will be back.

Mytyl: Who are you?::Fairy Berylune: Haven't you got eyes? Can't you see? I'm Berylune!::Mytyl: Berylune?::Fairy Berylune: Yes, Berylune! The fairy! Hurry now, quick! Get into your clothes and be off! You've got to find the blue bird!::Mytyl: The blue bird?::Fairy Berylune: Yes, the bird that's blue! The blue bird!::Mytyl: But why? Why should we find it?::Fairy Berylune: You want to be happy, don't you?::Mytyl: Of course, but what do I want with an old blue bird?::Fairy Berylune: What a stupid girl you are! Don't you know that the blue bird means happiness?

Mytyl: Can she talk, too?::Tylette: Well, naturally. If the dog can.::Mytyl: Oh, Tylette, I'm so glad! We've got to find the blue bird!::Tylette: The blue bird?::Tylo: I'll come! I'll help you!::Tylette: You'll come too, won't you, Tylette?::Tylette: Why not? It might be amusing.::Tylo: I don't like the way she said that.::Mytyl: Why, Tylo!::Tylo: We shouldn't take Tylette along. She's treacherous.

Fairy Berylune: What silly children you are not to know this lady! You've seen her hundreds of times. This is Light. Light, may I present Mytyl and Tyltyl.::Mytyl: How do you do, Light?::Tyltyl: How do you do?::Light: There's no need to be formal. We're old friends. Where would you like to go? I shall be your guide.::Mytyl: We're not sure where to go.::Fairy Berylune: Why don't you use your head? Hasn't it occurred to you that the blue bird might be hiding in the Past?::Mytyl: But where is the Past? Do you know the way?::Light: Why, of course. The Past is right behind us.

Tylette: I know we've never been friends, but now we've got to work together. We can't allow the children to go through with this.::Tylo: Why not? Why can't we?::Tylette: Don't you see? We're free now! If they succeed and find the blue bird, we'll have to go back to what we were. Animals! Dumb slaves to man!::Tylo: That's the way I like it! Man is the master, and we must obey him.::Tylette: I always knew you were a fool.::Tylo: If they want to look for a blue bird or a pink owl, I'm gonna help them!

Granny Tyl: Somebody must be thinking of us. I feel quite strong. I think we're going to have visitors. They seem to be coming near.::Grandpa Tyl: Maybe now I can finish my carving. I've been at this one for nearly a whole year.::Granny Tyl: That's because we're so seldom awake.::Mytyl, Tyltyl: Granny! Grandpa!::Granny Tyl: It's the children! Give us a hug, dears, a big one this time.::Grandpa Tyl: It's been months and months since you last remembered us.::Granny Tyl: The last time was Easter morning. The church bells were ringing.::Mytyl: Easter? Oh, we didn't go out that day. We both had very bad colds.::Granny Tyl: But you thought of us.::Mytyl: Yes, we missed you.::Granny Tyl: Every time you think of us, we wake up and see you again.::Mytyl: But we thought you were dead.::Granny Tyl: No, dear. Only when we're forgotten.
