Synopsis

Celia is a grotesque: a giantess whose body ages at three times the normal rate. Born fully-fanged and hideous, her mother immediately drops her on the nearest doorstep. Let’s not feel sorry for Celia, though; she is in part responsible for the devastation of her home town, Provencia. The gift of a camera transforms her into a notorious photographer.
