In a dark, sprawling forest stands an ancient castle inhabited by a powerful and wicked witch. She possesses a terrifying magic: any man who steps within a hundred paces of her castle is frozen tight to the ground, while any young maiden is instantly transformed into a singing bird and locked in a wicker cage. Two young sweethearts, Jorinda and Joringel, wander too close to the cursed grounds during a quiet evening walk. In a flash of dark magic, Jorinda is turned into a beautiful nightingale, and Joringel is completely paralyzed, forced to watch helplessly as the witch carries his true love away into her massive collection of caged birds. Once the spell releases him, Joringel wanders the land in despair. He must find the courage and a rare, magical blood-red flower capable of shattering the witch's enchantments. His dangerous quest to break the curse is his only hope of freeing Jorinda and all the other trapped girls before it is too late.
