Into the Woods (2024)

A Baker and his wife wish for a child but suffer under a curse laid upon the baker's family by a Witch who found the Baker's father robbing her garden when his mother was pregnant, demanding their daughter for compensation. Because the Baker's father also stole some magic beans, the witch's own mother cursed her to be ugly. The Witch is able to lift the curse and allow them to have a child, but only if the Baker and his wife obtain four critical items for her to make a potion: a white cow, a red cape, a yellow strand of hair and a golden slipper, none of which she is allowed to touch.
