A deep and dark forest hides the ruins of a house and the secrets of the family which once inhabited it. The father lived happily there with son and daughter until he brought home a new wife, a cruel and vicious woman who is, in reality, a witch. She destroys the house and changes the children in apples hanging on a tree. Everything would have remained in this terrible state if chance had not led a young prince to lose his way in the forest and discover the apple maiden. Based on a classic fairy tale, the film was shot on location at several beautiful Czech castles.
