A TALE OF ENDURANCE AND SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH SUFFERING. AFTER MAKING A PACT WITH THE DEVIL, A FORMER GULF WAR SOLDIER IS GIVEN UNLIMITED RICHES, BUT HE WILL LOSE HIS SOUL UNLESS HE WEARS AN ACTUAL BEARSKIN AND GOES WITHOUT A BATH, HAIRCUT, SHAVE, OR MANICURE FOR SEVEN YEARS. BEARSKIN GROWS A REPULSIVE SEVEN-YEAR ACCUMULATION OF HAIR, GRIME AND FINGERNAILS, AND IS CUT OFF FROM HUMAN SOCIETY. BUT WHEN HIS HEART OPENS TO THE SUFFERING OF ANOTHER, HE WINS THE HAND OF A KIND AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL, AND THE DEVIL IS OBLIGED TO GIVE HIM A BATH.
