Beauty and the Beast

A majestic prince is cursed to transform into a powerful werewolf under the light of the full moon, and a courageous princess risks everything to help him reclaim his humanity and defeat those seeking to usurp his rightful throne.

In medieval times, a young prince named Eduardo is afflicted with a mysterious curse that transforms him into a terrifying monster every night. An alchemist, whose life was taken by Eduardo's father, is the source of the curse. Only a woman who truly loves Eduardo can break the spell. However, his fiancée Althea is horrified when she witnesses him in his monstrous form. Meanwhile, Eduardo's brother Bruno, who seeks to claim the throne, manipulates the villagers to hunt down Eduardo, leading to a fateful night where the prince is captured by the mob.
