Synopsis: Princess Elisa lives happily with her eleven brothers. When their father remarries, the beautiful new queen uses her powers of enchantment to force her father to send Elisa away. Meanwhile the Queen transforms her brothers into swans. When Elisa returns as an adult, her father is unable to recognize her, and she is chased out of the kingdom. With the help of an old woman - the fairy Fata Morgana in disguise - she tracks down her brothers. They are now swans by day, and human beings by night. Elisa vows to do everything in her power to save her brothers.
