Synopsis:
Once Upon a Time…
In the Kingdom of Tränen, a king makes a promise to his dying wife that
he'll only remarry a woman who possesses her golden hair. In time, the king's
eyes are turned by his daughter. Realizing her father’s intentions, Princess
Aurelia tries to trick him by requesting impossible gifts: dresses created by
the sun, moon and stars, and a coat made of a thousand furs. But when he is
successful, Aurelia sacrifices her privileged life and flees her kingdom,
disguised by the cloak and a new name, Allerleirauh.
She enters the safe haven of Saarland der Licht, where the handsome and gentle Prince Klaus takes her under his care. Hoping not to be discovered by her father’s courtiers, Allerleirauh tries to remain hidden under her new identity when she finds unexpected love with Prince Klaus, even though his arranged marriage to the princess of a neighboring kingdom approaches. Risking everything, Allerleirauh must face her troubled past and her fears of the future along her journey to self-acceptance in this triumphant retelling of the classic Grimm Fairy Tale.
