The story of Gretel & Hansel
The story follows Gretel and Hansel as they enter the dark wooden forest to find work and food, and then stumble upon the home of a witch.
A little girl who lived in a rural village fell ill and they did not expect to survive. The father takes her to the enchantress and asks for help for the girl to live longer. Enchantress uses her power and saves the kid’s life, but the enchantress keeps her power within the girl. When she grows up, the villagers go to her as she is a fortune teller. But this young girl uses her power to kill people, including her father. She is taken into the isolated wood house. AT here, she lures other children to their deaths. She becomes known as the Beautiful Child.
The story shifts to teenaged Gretel and her younger brother Hansel, after their father’s death. Teenagers meet a man who provides a housekeeping job, but the children leave without work as he reveals his true intentions by asking Gretel if she is still a virgin. Then A hunter takes them to his home. One day the siblings go out to forage and seek work and suddenly they find a house with the smell of cake coming from it. Holda (the enchantress) as a house owner invites them inside for a meal and allows them to sleep there in exchange for work. The horror part of the Gretel and Hansel movie started from here.
