In this captivating adaptation of the classic fairy tale, the story unfolds in a kingdom ruled by a queen of unparalleled vanity. Portrayed by Gudrun Landgrebe, the queen relies on a magical mirror, created by the enigmatic Black Knight, to reaffirm her beauty each day. But the mirror reveals that Snow White, the king's beautiful heiress, has surpassed her in grace and charm. Enraged by jealousy, the power-hungry queen commands her loyal servant, the timid jester named Andreas, played by Alessandro Gassmann, to carry out a dark deed: the assassination of her own step-daughter, Snow White. Little does the queen know that Andreas harbors a secret love for Snow White, which complicates his moral duty and sets the stage for an unexpected turn of events.
In a daring twist, the Black Knight deceives the queen by faking Snow White's death. The story takes a magical turn as Snow White finds refuge in the enchanted depths of a mystical mine, where she is taken in by a group of seven dwarfs who possess unique abilities and deep wisdom. Together, they share their enigmas and secrets with her, revealing not only the looming danger posed by her step-mother but also her true identity as a rightful heir. The dwarfs develop a bond with Snow White, becoming her protectors and allies, as they concoct a plan to thwart the queen's malevolent intentions.
As tension mounts, the queen remains oblivious to the fact that Snow White is alive and well, hidden away in her enchanted sanctuary. Fueled by her vanity and the mirror's deceitful reassurances, she continues her schemes. The dwarfs and Snow White join forces to confront the disguised queen, unveiling her true nature to the kingdom. This retelling not only highlights themes of jealousy and vanity but also emphasizes the importance of love, friendship, and courage in the face of adversity, leading to an epic showdown that will ultimately determine the fate of the kingdom.
Full Cast of Snow White
Gudrun Landgrebe delivers a captivating performance as Regina in the film "Snow White," a modern adaptation of the classic fairy tale.

Her performance is a delicate balance of calculated cruelty and underlying vulnerability, as she grapples with the realization that her time in the spotlight is fleeting. Landgrebe's ability to evoke sympathy, despite Regina's malevolent actions, is a testament to her skill as an actress. She masterfully captures the essence of a woman caught in the throes of a personal and existential crisis, ultimately leading to a climactic confrontation with her own reflection and demons. Landgrebe's Regina is a memorable villain, not just for her malice, but for the tragic humanity that the actress weaves into the character's dark fabric.
Alessandro Gassmann
Buffone/Principe Andreas

His comedic timing and playful demeanor provide a stark contrast to his portrayal of Principe Andreas, where he shifts effortlessly into a more regal and stoic presence.

His ability to navigate the complexities of both characters, transitioning from the light-hearted jester to the tormented prince, showcases his range as an actor and adds depth to the narrative.

His interaction with the protagonist, a young woman named Lili, played by the radiant Susanne Bormann, showcased a tender mentorship that transcended the typical law enforcement relationship. Feik's Cappellano was the moral compass of the narrative, guiding Lili through the treacherous underbelly of a city rife with corruption, while grappling with his own disillusionment with the system he upheld. His performance was marked by a subtle balance of gravitas and warmth, making Cappellano an endearing and pivotal figure in Lili's journey towards self-discovery and justice.

His interactions with his daughter, played by Laura Berlin, showcased a touching paternal tenderness, while his commanding presence in the court conveyed the authority expected of a king. Schönherr's portrayal added depth to the character of Re, providing a poignant contrast to the film's antagonist, the Queen, and helping to anchor the emotional core of the story.
