A series of crimes related to fairy tales shakes a small town. Only one inspector, born in the village, can understand what is happening.
In 1960, Gretel, a nine-year-old girl, returns home after playing with some friends in the park. To her surprise, neither her mother, her grandfather, nor her brother are there. They never appeared, and after the time stipulated by law had passed, the authorities officially declared them dead.
Thirty years later, she must return, now as a police inspector, to investigate a series of crimes related to fairy tales.
