Things are tense at Hansel and Gretel's house: Dad has lost his job, their bank account is as empty as the fridge, and a family vacation is out of the question… Over something trivial, their father snaps and throws his children out of the apartment.

Along the way, the two encounter strange characters, dangerous temptations, and new challenges. They can't find their way home and eventually end up in a truly devilish witch's house. A suspiciously friendly couple lives there, completely devoted to the ideal of eternal youth and beauty. But behind the shining facade lurks a dark secret: The couple has nothing good in mind for children…

From then on, she can no longer speak, and her unfamiliar legs and feet hurt terribly. When the prince first sees the now-human mermaid, he is captivated and takes her in. But he doesn't recognize his former rescuer. If the prince marries someone else, the mermaid faces certain death…
