Synopsis: A baker and his wife are childless due to a curse placed upon their family by a witch because one of their family members stole from her beloved garden. But the witch agrees to lift the curse if they can successfully complete a series of tasks in “three days’ time.” Wanting children that badly, the Baker and his wife duly venture forth into the woods in search of four items she has commanded them to fetch, where they encounter Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and numerous other fairy tale figures. Each intertwined story is altered, and most eventually work towards the same goal, but not until they each realize the repercussions of their desired “happily ever afters.”
