Based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. Long ago, the kingdom of Azurie was ruled by a kind and just King. More than anyone in the world, he loved his wife and daughter, Princess Ariana. Their kingdom prospered and everyone was happy. But one day, the Queen was struck by a cruel illness, and the inconsolable King swore that he would marry again only if the new chosen one was even more beautiful than his beloved late wife.

Misfortune strikes a kingdom: the queen is dying. She makes her husband swear that he remarry after her death, but on one condition, that he only marry a woman more beautiful than her. Seeing the picture of his daughter appear, whom he doesn't recognize at first, the king finds in her a woman more beautiful than the queen and he wishes to marry her, and continues to wish it even after she is recognized as his child. Advised by her fairy godmother, the little girl imposes impossible conditions in hopes of cancelling the wedding. But the king accomplishes the impossible. The girl then asks of him the skin of his donkey, the one that makes the kingdom's riches by defecating gold. Without hesitating the king fulfills the request of his daughter, who then flees him, dressed in the horrible garment to repel all desires.

A king is married to a woman with golden hair. The queen falls ill, and realising she’s going to die she asks her husband that, if he’d ever remarry, it would be only to a woman as beautiful as her with the same golden hair. Unfortunately, the only one to fit the description is his own daughter, Princess Lotte. He decides to marry her. All she can do is flee. She dirties her face and hands with soot and escapes.
