Tale As Old As Time
Shelby, a Spanish philanthropist, has always been disturbed by Stockholm Syndrome kidnap stories like Beauty and the Beast. She knows from her charities and volunteer work that battered women's shelters, hospitals and morgues are full of naïve girls who thought they could change a beast. Shelby finds love with an American culinary student, named Victor, but before they can live happily ever after he must save her from the beast who controls and terrorizes her. Will Victor be able to find the prince within to save the woman he loves?In this modern adaptation of Beauty and the Beast we are faced with brutal questions. Should true love be taken or earned? Does being kept in a castle make it any less of a prison? Are love and control one and the same? Is it truly romantic for a woman to be a prisoner?
