Bianca de Nevada, a young girl in 1495 Tuscany, is left in the care of the vain and jealous Lucrezia Borgia when her father is summoned by the ruthless Cesare Borgia. In the woods, Bianca finds refuge with seven dwarves who guard a magical mirror - the same mirror coveted by the power-hungry Borgias. As Lucrezia's envy turns to a deadly plot, Bianca must outwit her captors and uncover her true identity to survive.
