Screenplay data
A childless Baker and his Wife wish to lift a curse placed on their family by a Witch, requiring them to gather four specific items: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. Their quest intertwines with the stories of Cinderella, who longs to attend the King's Festival; Jack, who sells his cow for magic beans; and Little Red Riding Hood, who encounters a predatory Wolf on her way to Grandmother's house. As the Baker and his Wife collect the items, Cinderella finds her Prince, Jack climbs a beanstalk to a land of giants, and Rapunzel is freed from her tower, seemingly leading to everyone's happily ever after. However, a vengeful Giantess descends from the sky, causing destruction and death, forcing the surviving characters to confront the consequences of their wishes and unite to defeat the Giant, ultimately finding a new sense of family and responsibility amidst their shared grief and loss.
