Pea Princess
Princess Agnès flees a castle uprising and seeks refuge in Bohemia, where a Countess tests her nobility with the trial of the pea. Exhausted, Agnès must prove her royal lineage—or succumb to sleep.
In a fairytale French castle, Princess Agnès de Sully de Montana Bleue is awakened one day by the menacing roar of a crowd under the windows. A disgruntled populace is rioting in the country, and she must get to safety immediately. There is no time for noble robes or full chests, so she becomes an outcast. On the advice of her chambermaid, she goes to her long-forgotten native land, to distant Bohemia, where the distrustful Countess, after her son falls in love with Agnès, subjects her to the rigorous test we all know so well: she leaves her mercilessly laid to rest on a small green pea. Will the princess succeed in the tried and tested test and prove her noble origins? Or will he fall into a deep sleep after a long exhausting journey?
