[4] It is a contemporary adaptation of the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, borrowing elements from Villeneuve's version, such as the dream sequences.

The film was shot entirely in Israel, and the taglines were: "The monster they feared was the prince she loved" and "The classic fairy tale about seeing with your heart".

A wealthy merchant lives an affluent life with his two sons, Oliver and Frederick, and three daughters, Bettina, Isabella and Beauty.

After the merchant loses his wealth in a storm at sea, the family must renounce their luxurious life and move to the countryside, with Beauty once again taking charge.

He stops off at a beautiful castle where an unseen host treats him to good food and shelter.

However, the old man plucks a rose from the garden, and the Beast (the formerly unseen host) demands that as punishment, Beauty must come to live with him.

Over time, Beauty is happy at the castle, but asks the Beast if she can visit her family, as she misses them.
