or Cave of the Golden Rose is the first movie in the Fantaghirò series, released in 1991. The story is about rebellious Princess Fantaghirò who refuse to behave like a traditional princess, and how she falls in love with the prince of a rival kingdom, Romualdo.
Two kingdoms have been warring for many generations, though they no longer remember the reasons for the war.
The King of the one of the kingdoms is hoping for a son to continue his legacy, as he already has two daughters Catherine and Carolyn. On the night of his third child's birth he consults various soothsayers who assure him it'll be a boy, but the White Witch shows up unannounced and declares that it'll be a girl. The child is born and not only is the Witch's prediction proven true, but the Queen also dies in childbirth. The King declares that the child is cursed and is to be sacrificed to the Beast of the Cave of the Golden Rose, a creature that only eats girls. The King goes despite the protests of his daughters, but before he can kill his newborn daughter, the White Witch secretly causes his sword to be struck by lightning and broken. The King assumes that this is a sign from the gods and asks for forgiveness. He names his new daughter Fantaghirò and takes her back to the castle.
Fantaghirò grows up into a naughty child, refusing to be obedient or behave like a "proper" princess, unlike her sisters. As punishment for making a slingshot that she'd used to break her sisters' dolls, the King declares that she is to spend the night at the bottom of a dry well. Catherine and Carolyn send food to her, and Fantaghirò has the company of a white mouse, so she is not uncomfortable. Fantaghirò spends many years being sent down the well for various "crimes" until she is a grown woman.
Once all three sisters are grown up, the King deems that they should be married because he is getting old and needs someone to continue his line and keep fighting for the kingdom. He informs his daughters that they have the interest of three prince brothers: Issibel, Ossobel and Ussubel, who have sent rings as tokens to the three princesses. Catherine and Carolyn accept the gifts, but Fantaghirò doesn't. Angered, the King banishes her.
Fantaghirò flees into the woods, where she meets the White Knight, who teaches her how to fight with a sword, which is what she has always wanted.
Meanwhile in the neighbouring kingdom, the king has died and his only son Prince Romualdo ascends to the throne after being abroad for many years. While exploring the woods of his new realm he accidentally crosses paths with Fantaghirò, who is training archery with the White Knight. Her arrow almost strikes Romualdo and he chases after her into the undergrowth, but only manages to see her eyes before she makes her escape.
