Briar-Rose or The Sleeping Beauty
いばら姫またはねむり姫
Synopsis
Dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty where the heroine uncovers her mother's secrets and the curse's true origin.
An alternate retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. The story begins in the same way as the original story but our young heroine instead of falling under the mystical spell begins to uncover the mystery of the man who cursed her and his relationship with her mother. It is a realistic reminder that "They lived happily ever after...", may not be as happy as we once envisioned.
