Plot

In the wake of his beloved wife's death during childbirth, a tender-hearted king is left with his precious daughter, Snow White. As Snow White grows into a radiant beauty, the king, realizing his daughter's readiness for marriage, decides to seek a new queen for his lonely heart. Yet, his chosen bride is a sinister woman, whose malevolent intentions soon surface. She becomes obsessively envious of Snow White's beauty, seeing her as a rival and a reminder of the late queen. Her determination to seize the throne and erase all traces of Snow White leads to a chilling plot. Upon the king's demise, shaken by the false news of Snow White being devoured by a wild beast, the wicked queen ascends the throne. She had cunningly forced the royal huntsman to present her with what is supposedly Snow White's heart, in reality a deer's, as evidence of the princess's death. Unbeknownst to the queen, Snow White is alive, left by the huntsman in the forest where she stumbles upon the humble abode of seven miner dwarfs. Assuming the role of the dwarfs' meticulous housekeeper, Snow White finds a new home. However, her safety is ephemeral. The queen's magic mirror reveals Snow White's survival, leading the queen to devise deadly schemes, each time donning a new disguise. Despite her naivety, Snow White is saved by the dwarfs time and again, and finally by a prince who had been incognito at the court as the huntsman's unassuming assistant. Drawn by his love for Snow White, the prince embarks on a daring rescue, igniting a crucial climax in this tale of beauty, envy, and love.
