The king’s daughter gets sick and the only way for her to feel better is by eating apples. Now you would not be so surprised if we told you that the king announced that whoever brings apples to the princess, will get her hand and will become the next king in the kingdom. Things are however more complicated than they looked in the beginning as the king sets new conditions one after another. Hans, the youngest of three brothers, is with the purest heart and is at the same time determined to succeed. The last trial will either make him king or will endanger his life and future.
