One night, Franca has a dream about a marvelous queen who lives in a cave deep in the forest. With her younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, they venture into the forest to see if the dream is true. As they travel deeper, the world shifts. They meet creatures that shock and delight them, and they escape horrible things that frighten them. And what they find in the cave may be the most unexpected thing of all...
