** The beautiful Snow White becomes the marionette of a sinister prince and seven unscrupulous rogues. But can the wicked stepmother really be overthrown so easily? ** 
    
    
    "Mirror, mirror on the wall,
    Who is the fairest of them all?"
    - Brothers Grimm -
    
    
    In a kingdom plagued by darkness and despair, Mairwen's beauty makes her the target of her evil stepmother Rhiannon's jealousy. 
    When the faithful huntsman tries to make the poisoned princess disappear into the forest, he falls victim to a gang of seven merciless robbers. When the rogues discover the beautiful princess in her timeless sleep, they use her as bait to lure travelers into a deadly trap... 
    
    Over the years, many noble princes and brave heroes come to rescue the princess and awaken her with a kiss - but none succeed. Until one day, a prince from a distant kingdom appears. 
    However, he does not come to free Snow White from the villains' clutches but to use her for his own wicked plans. So, he makes the guards a tempting offer.
    
    Will the kingdom be plunged into eternal darkness? Or can true love flourish in the tainted soil to ultimately free the kingdom as well as Snow White's heart and restore peace to the land?
