Jan 1, 1994

A TV parody with songs based on well-known fairytale motifs tells the story of Decibella, the daughter of the black priest Ramus, who has only one desire: to perform with her band Pazvuka at the royal castle, to charm Prince Cinderella, whose passion is songwriting, with her music and to become his wife, the future queen. She has no idea that the prince has already been charmed by the song of the poor Goldilocks and takes great offence when the prince banishes her from the palace with her cacophonous music. Out of revenge, she begs her father to curse the whole country out of singing and music. Goldilocks, with the help of the fairy Echoes, finds the enchanted tones and helps Prince Cinderella to get the music back from the Black Prince for the people.
