Egon, a ‘perfect prince’ who spends his days playing a drum set, goes looking for Sleeping Beauty in the overgrown, enchanted forest of the Kingdom of Kentz. She fell into a deep sleep a century ago, after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Just as a wicked fairy had predicted.

A charming if rather absent-minded prince roams between the present and a magic kingdom of the past in the offbeat and mannerist Sleeping Beauty, starring Mathieu Amalric, Agathe Bonitzer and Niels Schneider. This adaptation of the classic tale is a whimsical and absurdist reverie.
