Synopsis
Snow White and Rose Red live on the outskirts of a deep forest. In this forest there is a cave, where the greedy dwarf Mouldy Beard hoards the mountain's treasures. The girls tell the two princes of this, who decide to challenge the evil spirit of the mountain. He transforms them into a bear and a falcon. During the hard winter months, the two animals are looked after by the unsuspecting girls, but Mouldy Beard swears revenge...
A magical film version of the Grimms' fairytale.
