麻豆约拍

In this re-imagining of the Grimm brother's fairy-tale, we find ourselves at one with a fun loving and light hearted Queen, who having been wooed by an emotionally arrested king, soon finds that her main rival is his somewhat spooky and unhealthily translucent daughter, Snow White.

It isn't clear what hold this eerily passive child has over the King but the implication is that the trauma of being cuckolded by his first wife, has been transformed into the myth of a flawless child. A child - who keenly aware of her power over him - determines nothing, especially not a mere stepmother is going to come between them.

By any reasonable assessment of the situation, Snow White has to die...but will she?
