An adaptation of The She-Bear from Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales (Il Pentamerone, Lo cunto de li cunti).

When a pack of wolves nearly tear the prince apart, the very She-Bear he'd been hunting saves his life. As man and beast heal from their wounds, the prince starts to wonder: Is he losing his mind? Or has he really fallen in love with a bear? Magic and mayhem, romance and the ridiculous dance hand in paw in this modern adaptation of the Italian fairy tale where love is the best kind of madness.
