A mixture of live-action and animation, the story of seven brothers who wander the streets in search of inspiration for their fairy tales.

Once upon a time there were seven brothers who wander the streets of their village looking for inspiration for fairy tales. The ideas they come up with, however, don't seem much like the traditional fairy tales we are used to. At home, the brothers write their stories down, unaware of their shortcomings. But then they hear their last tale being acted out next door, quite differently from the way they had written it... The brother's wanderings are shown in live action; the fairy tales are animated.
Il était une fois sept frères qui se promenaient dans les rues de leur village à la recherche d’inspiration pour des contes de fées. L’idée qui leur vint ne ressemblait pourtant pas aux contes de fées auxquels nous sommes habitués. A la maison, les frères écrivirent leurs histoires, inconscients de leurs défauts. Mais c’est alors qu’ils entendirent leur dernière histoire être jouée à proximité, différemment de la manière dont ils l’avaient écrite initialement.
