When a young girl fails to heed her mother’s advice, she must face the consequences of straying from the wooded path as she travels to her beloved grandmother’s house. Along the way she encounters a stealthy huntsman whose watchful eye may be just what she needs for protection from the sly and cunning wolf. True to the classic tale, this adaptation offers a fresh approach to a well-known children’s story.
