Plot

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