What happens

7 Dwarves – Men Alone In the Woods (German: 7 Zwerge – Männer allein im Wald) is a German comedy film, created in 2004 by Otto Waalkes, loosely based on the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, while also containing parodies of many other fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The film, created by the NRW Film Fund (Filmstiftung NRW), was the second most popular film in German cinemas in 2004, reaching an audience of almost 7 million, making it one of the most successful German films ever. Its success spawned a sequel in 2006, 7 Dwarves: The Forest Is Not Enough and a computer-animated adaptation in 2014, The Seventh Dwarf. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
