What happens

About the Little Red Riding Hood (Russian: Про Красную Шапочку, romanized: Pro Krasnuyu Shapochku) is a 1977 Soviet two-part musical TV movie based on the ideas of Charles Perrault and directed by Leonid Nechayev. The story is a sequel of the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The film is a deconstruction of the classic fairy tale. The manner in which the characters of the wolves is portrayed is different from the original story, as the wolves are viewed as human beings throughout the film. They are akin to a family of forest hermits or a clan of bandits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
