A princess grows up without a mother. Her father, a kind and just king, loves his daughter above all else, but wants to marry her off at any cost. And no one really knows why he is in such a hurry. The king organizes a grand ball at the castle. A number of princes court the princess, but the one she chooses does not appeal to her father for reasons that are incomprehensible... Only later does it become clear that behind it all lies an ancient curse, the ruler of the empire of witches, and the Snow Dragon. The princess and her chosen one thus embark on a difficult and dangerous journey...
