The protagonist of the film is a robot with a human brain but scissors hands, named Edward. His creator is an inventor. He spent almost all his life creating Edward's works, but the inventor died before he finished it, leaving Edward alone in the castle until Peg, which promoted cosmetics, appeared.

In fact, this film is destined to be a story that begins with a fairy tale and ends with sadness. Although I don't like to use the word "doomed" often, you see, from the moment Peg took Edward out of the castle and integrated into society, it was doomed to end in tragedy. If Peg hadn't strayed into the castle that day, Edward might have lived in the castle all the time, knowing nothing about the world, except loneliness, but life is so impermanent that the appearance of one person will always change another's life.

His arrival was very lively, just like the beginning of every fairy tale. Everyone's eyes are so real and hot, like entertaining guests and discovering the new continent. Edward used his scissors to trim the manor and cut various hairstyles for others. He never got any reward, nor did he achieve any purpose, but simply loved, or finally found the value and significance of his existence.

At a lively party, a pair of scissors hands were covered with all kinds of vegetables and ingredients, standing next to the barbecue grill, and there was a long waiting line in front of them. People's praise and ridicule kept coming from his ears, and Edward readily accepted it, because he thought it would bring happiness to everyone and make everyone accept himself more quickly, even if he was laughed at. He smiled brightly in the crowd, just as the sky was blue and the sun was dazzling. He thinks everything is wonderful.
