A long time ago, in Greece, there lived a beautiful princess named Areti. She had many suitors, but none she liked -- so she decided to make one from semolina, almonds, and sugar.

She orders three pairs of iron shoes, and sets off on a daring rescue attempt, for nothing will stand between this princess and her dreams.
