A princess wakes up as nobody. No servants, no gold, no name that means anything to the people around her. The witch didn't punish her with cruelty, just with the weight of having to earn breakfast. Katharine learns that comfort was always a cage built by other people's labor, and the real shock isn't poverty. It's recognizing herself in the hands that now have to do the work. This is a parable dressed as fairy tale, quiet enough that you hear every lesson.
Katharine is a rich and spoiled princess until a witch transforms her into an ordinary girl. Stripped of her privileged life, she has to live among the common people of a village and get used to their simple, frugal way of doing things. This single-episode fantasy OVA is told as a fairy tale, and it belongs to a series of films made in cooperation with Japan's Central Council for Financial Services Information and the Bank of Japan's public relations department.
