action

Fynn starts out as a stable boy in his uncle August's stable, who works as a stable master for Prince Erik. August tells Fynn why Prince Erik trains so hard:

Once upon a time there was a royal couple who dearly wanted a child. When the queen was bathing in the lake one day, a frog prophesied that she would have a child within the next year; and so the queen gave birth to a daughter less than a year later.

The happy father immediately arranged a party; but since there were only twelve golden plates, Maruna, the fairy of fate, was not invited. In revenge, Maruna put a curse on the newly born myrosis, saying that at the age of 15 she should stab her finger on a spindle and then die. The curse of death that had been imposed was transformed into a hundred-year sleep by one of the fairies present, and this spell should only be broken by a noble prince. The king immediately decreed that his daughter should never find out about the evil spell and had all spindles forbidden in his country.

Myrose grew up overprotected and met Maruna on a horse ride shortly before her 15th birthday in the form of an old woman living alone in her little house. She told her that her family found work in another kingdom after all spindles were banned. On her birthday, Myrose wanted to know from her father why he had banned all spindles in the country and why they had to grow up isolated from the environment, and urged her father to lift the spindle ban.

In the tower of the castle, Myrose met Maruna in the form of an old spinner. While trying to spin himself, Myrose stabbed his finger with the spindle. All castle residents immediately fell into a deep sleep. A thick hedge of thorns grew around the palace itself. In the course of time, many princes tried to penetrate them in order to wake the princess, now known as the "Sleeping Beauty", from her deep sleep, but paid for her rescue attempt with their lives.

The young Fynn is now starting to train himself and is being trained to be a knight by his uncle. Prince Erik also sets out to free Sleeping Beauty and is amused when Fynn is up to the same thing. In his attempt to penetrate the thorn hedge, Prince Erik is thrown from his horse, falls into the thorns and dies.

Fynn manages to cut his way through the thorn hedge to the castle with his sword, where he goes in search of Sleeping Beauty and finds her in the tower room. When he kisses Sleeping Beauty, the young woman and all of the castle residents wake up. The overjoyed king finds out that the stable boy Fynn is really King Philip's grandson. Fynn's father and grandfather had tried to save Sleeping Beauty and the castle before he did, but died in the process. Fynn grew up as a supposed stable boy with his uncle when he was no longer safe in his father's kingdom, and was trained as a knight by his uncle in order to assert his claim to the throne in due course.

Sleeping Beauty wants to lift her father's ban on the spindle so that life can return to the kingdom. Fynn promises her his help as soon as he gets back, because first of all he wants to ride home to see that things are going well and to prepare his wedding to her, for which he has waited so long.

criticism

“Excellent (TV) remake of the folk tale, which sets its own accents by telling the central fable as a flashback and using the detailed medieval backdrop to questions about social and personal responsibility. Excellent photographs, atmospheric, musically accentuated and committed play, the fantastic story is always taken seriously. "

“'Sleeping Beauty' is also a story in 2009 that will make children's hearts beat faster and that will also warm adults' hearts. The TV film really doesn't have to hide in the ranks of the numerous film adaptations. "
