Based on a tale by Charles Perrault, three fairies alter a curse on a young princess who is destined to die at an early age. Instead she embarks upon a hundred-year sleep, in which she is allowed to live a full and vivid life within her dreams. She experiences a sexual awakening that reshapes her view on Prince Charming when she has no clear perception of reality.
