The year is 1940. Young Dutchwoman Stasia experiences her first brutal confrontation with the reality of war. A girl with a passion for writing fairy tales, who spent her childhood summers at her grandparents' in Normandy soaking up its magical atmosphere, is suddenly left to fend for herself. She is deeply convinced that good must triumph, and she refuses to passively watch as the Nazis destroy everything she holds dear. Soon, she finds herself on the list of the most wanted agents of the French resistance. Now, however, she returns to the old castle with the mysterious garden of her childhood, where she must undertake an almost suicidal mission... ***** Present day. The legend of Sleeping Beauty – an agent of the resistance and a nightmare for enemies and traitors during World War II – has accompanied Isabelle and her sister Emilia since childhood. Every summer, they spent time at their grandparents' in Normandy, a place steeped in fairy tales and legends. Today, decades later, they have an opportunity that cannot be refused. Together, they embark on the reconstruction of the old castle and its neglected garden. In the process, they uncover incredible secrets tied not only to the history of this place but also to their family. The sisters soon realize that not every fairy tale is merely a product of the human mind. One thing is clear to them: every story should have a happy ending.
