Lots of 15-year-old girls long for a fairy-tale prince to sweep them off their feet. Not Anna.
She`d prefer to find her own path in life first, before some guy turns up out of the blue and turns everything upside down and inside out.
But then one day, her brother Raoul comes home with a frog he caught nearby. Before Raoul torments the little creature to death, Anna manages to rescue it.
Later, she remember the old fairy tale about the prince who had been turned into a frog. In a light-hearted mood, she picks up the frog and kisses it. And the frog really is turned back into a prince - into Prince Dietbert von Tümpelberg.
Once Anna has recovered from the shock, she realises there are certain practical problems to be faced if you are suddenly responsible for a Frog Prince who is a thousand years old.
