Musical fairy tale by Simona Vintilă (script) and Ilie Stepan (Music), after the Grimm Brothers

Song lyrics: Dana Borteanu

Who ever does not know the famous Brothers Grimm fairy tale? Poverty determines the woodchopper and his wife to take their children into the woods and leave them there. There, the children fall into the hands of a witch who wants to eat them. There is, however, an escape, the two being helped by a storyteller and two friendly elves. Whether they manage to free themselves and how, and what happens to the witch, that remains to be seen!
