Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales
from across the land and made them into a book. But there's more to
the story. They also had a much younger sister, the innocent and

curious Charlotte, whom they loved very much. One day, while the
https://www.netflix.com/The Grimm Variations
brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale as usual, they saw that she
had a somewhat melancholic expression on her face. "Do you suppose
they really lived happily ever after?" she asked.

The pages of Grimms' Fairy Tales, written by Jacob and Wilhelm, are
now presented from the unique perspective of Charlotte, who sees the
stories quite differently from her brothers.
