Into the Woods
In order to have their coveted child, a simpleton baker and his resolute wife are sent into the woods with an impossible assignment. There they unintentionally turn out to be the pivot in the fairy tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack and the beanstalk. But are witches, wolves and giants actually the biggest threat to your happiness? And what is the price for the happily ever after that everyone hopes for?
