Seven of the Grimms’ most mysterious and obscure fairytales are told over a dazzling display of Ontario landscape. Under the guidance of Katherine Grier’s careful telling, Canadian filmmaker Amy Bodman uses the film to create a dialogue between the inner and outer worlds, attempting to show how one’s imaginings are essential in giving meaning in our day-to-day living.
