7 Zwerge - Männer allein im Wald (2004)
The Seven Dwarves live deep within a female-free-zone of the Enchanted Forest, but they cannot resist the innocent charms of Snow White when she enters their world. So when the evil queen abducts her, it is up to the dwarves to save her life.
In 7 Zwerge - Männer allein im Wald, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “dwarf forest society”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, tradition, authority.
