The film, a directorial debut in English, weaves together three distinct narratives, bookended by scenes featuring a street circus family from Italy. The stories include a jealous queen, played by Salma Hayek, who causes her husband's demise, and a king, portrayed by Vincent Cassel, whose passion is ignited by two enigmatic sisters.
Tale of Tales
A rich tapestry of intrigue and fantasy unfolds as a queen's thirst for revenge, two sisters' clever manipulation of a king, and a monarch's fixation on a massive flea become inextricably linked, drawing inspiration from the classic fairytales of Giambattista Basile.
