Francesco Stefani's interpretation of this Grimm fairy tale fragment is considered one of the best fairy tale productions in DEFA film history and was also shown by the BBC.
Synopsis
In order to win the love of a beautiful but haughty princess, a prince sets out to find the singing, sounding little tree that is so coveted by the princess. He finds it in a magic garden where an evil dwarf rules. He gives him the tree on one condition: The prince must win the love of the princess by evening, otherwise he will be turned into a bear - which is what happens. By a trick the bear gets the hard-hearted princess into the magic garden, where she, deprived of her beauty and power, slowly develops a heart.
With Christel Bodenstein, Eckart Dux, Charles Hans Vogt, Richard Krüger, and Dorothea Thiesing.
