Plot

A trio of talking ravens narrate the real story of Hansel and Gretel, who are a prince and a princess, who ran away from their parents after being beheaded by their father and search for a new and happy family. The pair will go on a winding and wickedly witty tale with elements of several other stories written by the Brothers Grimm.
