Forty years later, Chiara decides to defy the strict laws of fairy magic to grant a wish for a lonely old woodcarver named Geppetto and his little wooden puppet.

Fueled by a decades-old grudge, the sisters strike a dangerous, old-fashioned wager. Now, the ultimate fates of Pinocchio and Geppetto hang delicately in the balance.
