Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
The film begins with a mother telling a story to her two children before going to bed.
It is a widowed merchant living with 3 sons and 3 daughters, a happy family that is always
full of laughter.
The merchant had three great ships, which are his pride and joy, named Mermaid, Triton
, and Leviathan.
One day all three ships are engulfed by a storm along with gold and treasures.
The family goes bankrupt and has to sell their house in the town.
The two spoiled daughters rush to complain to their father about the jewelry and clothes
that are sold while the father asks them where Belle is.
Outside their mansion, the three older brothers are preparing to move.
A kind servant advises Tristan, one of three sons, to take good care of his father and
not to let Maxime, the eldest, spend all the money.
Inside the house, the father goes looking for Belle and finds her visiting the statue
of her deceased mother in the garden.
They hug and both believe that the mother would definitely enjoy the quiet life in the
countryside.
So they leave the town and move to the countryside to live in a cottage.
Belle loves to plant around the house and makes it into a retreat while her two other
sisters are both bored with their new lives.
At this time, the father brings good news that one of their ships, Mermaid, has been
found, along with the intact treasures on board.
Reacting to this news, the family is overjoyed.
Only Belle feels unhappy, as she quietly goes to the garden, her father follows her to find
out.
Belle wants to stay in the countryside where Maxime will not be back with his thug friends
and her father will no longer be tied down with work again.
Now the two sisters give their father a long list of things to bring back.
As for Belle, she just wants a rose.
The next day, the father brings his oldest son Maxime to the port to ask for their properties
back.
Unfortunately, he is announced that the Mermaid is no longer in his possession because he
signed away a letter of all credits.
Maxime learns about the fact then expresses his disappointment towards his father and
leaves.
At night, the old man wanders into a tavern in search of his son.
In the tavern, a fortune-teller named Astrid tells a leader of a gang that destiny is smiling
on him with emerald and gold.
The gang leader approaches the old man as he learns that he is the father of Maxime,
he introduces himself as Perducas and threatens the old man to pay Maxime’s debt.
Fortunately, the owner of the tavern relieves the elderly man and tells him to run.
He successfully escapes but now has to ride home in the snowstorm without his son.
He gets lost in the woods on his horse, tired from the cold and long journey, the horse
falls down the cliff and dies.
Later, he finds himself outside an abandoned castle, he slowly opens the door to the gloomy
castle.
Suddenly the candles on the table light up, revealing a rich banquet.
He happily enjoys the food and wine.
Suddenly, the chandelier lights up, revealing a chest of treasure, which is exactly like
the expensive things his two daughters listed, only missing a rose to bring to Belle.
To his surprise, the seemingly dead horse enters from the outside with its legs bandaged.
He loads what he found onto the horse and goes home in the night.
When he is about to leave, he ventures to pluck a rose for Belle from a large rose tree.
Suddenly, a beast springs to him and pins him to the ground, angry that he has stolen
the rose, whether the chest of treasure is not enough for him.
The monster threatens him to return to the castle on the next day, otherwise it will
kill everyone in the family.
In a matter of time, the monster disappears.
Early in the morning, after returning home, he tells his children all about the castle
and the rose.
The poor man is forced to return there even though he has no idea what will happen to
him.
Belle slowly approaches and realizes that it is only because of her request that her
father had to go.
While the father says goodbye to Belle, she is ready to take his place by locking him
in the room and riding alone to the castle.
She whispers to the horse to take her to the castle and the thorny bushes spread out to
either side, indicating the way for her to enter.
Belle is cut by the thorn and bleeding on the way.
In a blink of an eye, Belle arrives at the abandoned castle.
To her surprise, it appears as a huge castle covered in moss as if it has been abandoned
for hundreds of years.
She walks into a room, where she finds a luxury bed and a gorgeous white dress awaiting for
her.
She washes her hands in a pool where the tiny yellow spots appeared wrapping around her
hands and heals her cuts.
She dresses up and explores the castle, followed by the shadow of the beast lurking behind.
Arriving at the dining table, she wishes to exchange her life against her father.
The beast, on the other hand, orders her to eat while circling behind the chair she was
sitting in, avoiding her seeing him.
He forces her to have dinner with him every evening at 7 o’clock.
Seeing the reflection of the beast, she panics and picks up a knife, in a nick of time, the
beast disappears.
Belle falls asleep and sees herself running to a door where she sees the Princess and
another woman looking in a mirror on the other side.
The lonely princess is excited about the Prince's return from a hunting trip.
He is after a golden deer and the princess doesn’t want him to hunt it as she is lonely
in the castle.
The prince then promises her not to hunt the golden deer if she bears him a son.
Waking up from a strange dream, she sees the beast watching her sleep, she is scared to
be startled and wakes up.
The monster quickly escapes, leaving her room in a blue dress.
The next morning, when Belle decides to see the limit of her prison, a golden deer suddenly
runs from nowhere to attract Belle's attention and leads her to a large rose tree, she sneaks
into the rose bush and discovers a marble statue of a woman lying, still holding a golden
arrow on her chest.
That is the Princess in Belle's dream.
Thus, a few hundred years ago there was once a woman who lived, loved and died in this
castle.
During dinner, the beast tries to charm Belle as she refuses him.
This angers the beast, he angrily runs away and claims that she would be his one day.
Belle sullenly returns to her room.
At this time, she finds in her bed a doll modeled after her and also discovers some
small creatures hiding in her room.
Belle slowly falls asleep.
Once again in her dream, she sees herself approaching the door.
There, she sees the princess and the prince dancing together as he declares that both
have an heir.
When being asked about the old promise, he ignores the princess.
In Belle's dream, she sees herself replacing the dancing princess with the prince.
Meanwhile, the tiny fireflies in the rose bush where the princess statue is kept gushing
out.
Belle wakes up next morning with the eerie feeling of being followed.
She secretly watches the tiny dogs looking for her as she hides in a corner.
At the passageway, she discovers a way up the stairs leading to a secret room.
When the clock strikes, Belle meets the beast for the second time and he apologizes for
his behavior last time.
Belle offers to return home, so they have a deal, Belle will dance with the beast and
he will have to let her return home.
While dancing, suddenly the beast asks for Belle’s love.
She refuses him and also expresses her disappointment toward him.
At night, the beast gets outside and hunts a hog, and at that time, the princess statue
sheds a tear.
Belle catches him carrying the hog to the secret room and eating it alive in front of
the painting of the prince and princess that appeared in her dreams.
Belle feels extremely disgusted and hurriedly runs away.
When she runs to the frozen lake, unfortunately she is caught and pinned down by the beast.
As he is about to give her a kiss, Belle sinks into the water and is immediately saved.
When Belle wakes up, the beast changes his mind and agrees to let her visit home.
This makes Belle the first time to see the beast in a different light.
The beast gives her a necklace filled with magic water from the pool in case something
bad happens to her.
He also lets her know that he will die if Belle doesn't come back on time.
At dawn the next morning, Belle shows up at her house as her brothers are delighted to
see her again.
The house is shabby as Maxime is under pursuit by Perducas’s gang.
Belle goes to the two sisters' room and learns that her father is bedridden and dying, she
runs to his father's bed to visit him.
Downstairs, while guarding the house.
Maxime steals a gem from Belle's robe and intends to use this as an opportunity to escape
the pursuit of the Perducas gang, Maxime and his second brother decide to bring the gem
to the gang but they are stopped by the younger brother Tristan.
Maxime manages to knock Tristan down and runs away with Belle’s horse.
In the meantime, Belle has a dream in which she sees herself walking into a door again.
The prince and his entourage hide in the forest preparing to shoot at the golden deer which
he is after for a long time.
The deer makes it to the castle but can not escape the arrow.
As the prince approaches, intending to finish the deer, it now turns into his wife.
The golden deer turns out to be Nymph of the Forest, she can turn into human form to be
in love with the prince.
A raging wind comes from nowhere and surrounds the castle.
The princess begs her father, God of the Forest, to spare the prince because he has cherished
her with eternity love.
Under her body a rose vine, and a voice comes down from God of the Forest cursing the prince
into a beast, only a woman loves him can remove the curse.
Near the woods, Maxime and his brother give Perducas the gem they stole from Belle and
offer to settle his debt to the gang if he shows them where the treasure is.
Maxime leads them to enter the castle with ease.
At this time, Belle wakes up from her dream and gives the magic water to her father to
drink.
The father immediately regains consciousness.
Tristan wakes up and immediately intends to tell Belle about Maxime, when he goes to his
father's room to find him awake.
He calls his two sisters to visit their father.
In the woods, Perducas splits up his gang to find treasure while he and Belle’s brothers
go into the castle.
Astrid, the fortune teller follows the fireflies into the rosebush, the resting place of the
princess.
As having listened to the voice, Astrid grabs the arrow on the statue's chest and pulls
it out.
In the meantime, Belle is about to return to the castle but she learns that her two
brothers have run away with her horse.
She has only an hour left to return.
At the castle, the beast has already sensed the intrusion.
Astrid brings the arrow back to Perducas, stating that the arrow holds an incredible
power, she also advises everyone to head back before they all die.
Yet, Perducas ignores and lootes all the gold.
Meanwhile, Tristin takes Belle to the edge of the forest but there is no way to get inside.
With no other choice, she begs the God of the Forest to let her in and the trees on
both sides immediately part for her.
In the castle, the gang carry sacks of gold and silver happily leaving.
A bandit is left behind when he encounters a giant attack.
The gang find out their accomplice is being chased and brutally thrown to the ground.
While the bandits are gloating as they overwhelm the giant with their guns, the beast controls
the other giants to attack from behind, crushing them one by one.
At this moment, Belle appears just as the giant is about to kill two brothers, she rushes
to stop.
Seizing that opportunity, Perducas takes Belle as a hostage to threaten the beast.
He puts a knife to Belle's neck, causing a drop of her blood to fall to the ground, growing
into branches of the rose.
In a matter of time, Belle quickly escapes from Perducas’s grasp.
The beast attempts to finish him off at that moment, but is stopped by Belle.
At this moment, the vile Perducas stabs the beast right into his chest with the golden
arrow he got from Astrid.
As the beast is fatally wounded, the giants gradually collapse and a wind blowing away
the thick fog, a halo of light above appears, the God of the Forest has arrived.
Belle quickly leads the three brothers to bring the beast back to the pool of magic
water to save him.
Meanwhile, Astrid stumbles while fleeing and Perducas leaves her being crushed dead.
In the castle, the three brothers carry the beast along with Belle and make it to the
pool.
At this time, the brothers draw their swords to fight against the vines that try to attack
them.
When Belle pulls out the arrow, the beast wakes up and once again asks for Belle’s
love.
Belle confesses that she has already loved him, in a moment, a tear rolling down her
cheek and falling into the lake.
The hundred-year curse on the beast has been removed.
Immediately, the rose vines turn into a swarm of fireflies.
Outside, Perducas is wrapped and turned into a tree man while fleeing.
The beast inside the pool turns back into a handsome prince.
The little puppies under Belle's bed turn into their normal size.
