Based on the Grimm’s tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, in which twelve sisters sleep in twelve beds in the same bedroom, the doors to which their father locks every night. But every morning, the king unlocks his daughter’s bedroom doors to find their shoes worn out as if they have been dancing all night. Do they live happily ever after?
