Princess Arete, a young and curious princess, is imprisoned by sorcerer Boax who fears she will rob him of eternal life. She befriends a villager named Ample, who helps her plan an escape. With Ample's encouragement, Arete breaks the enchantment and regains her old spirits, eventually discovering the source of Boax's magical ability and freeing the town from his control. With Boax's eternal life lost, Arete is free to leave and explore the world, using her hands to make a life.
