action

At the beginning of the film, a voice from the off explains that the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel had previously been mistakenly intended for children, but has now finally been prepared as a moral epistle for adolescents.

Hansel and Gretel have known each other for nine weeks now. Now they go on vacation together, but keep arguing because he wants to, but she doesn't. They are surprised in the forest by an attractive, red-haired castle owner who invites them to join her. Because she always walks around with an open blouse, the sex witch quickly succeeds in luring the naive and vain boy into her bed. After Gretel had meanwhile been raped by a disgusting lock servant, she puts an end to the hustle and bustle by throwing herself naked on the neck of her Hansel. But the disempowered witch, furious, gives herself to her circus menagerie of lions, tigers and polar bears to eat.

criticism

The lexicon of the international film doesn't think much of the strip: “Hansel, Gretel and three other people cavort, pairing and as nude, in castle castle, beds, meadows, water, car and cowshed. Pornography-like number film with simulated plot and sinister dialogue that soon runs out of air despite attempted self-irony. "The Protestant film observer blows in the same horn:" Primitive sex film that lends its gags to the lowest category despite higher demands from peasant swans. Useful as a negative film example for discussions about 'sex and love', otherwise to be rejected. "
