This is an original 6-part modern-day retelling of the classic fairy tale 'Beauty and the Beast'. This sleep story for grown ups has brief music during the introduction and is then voice only. I didn't feel it sounded so good with the sound of rain in the background, but perhaps if enough people request a 'storytelling and rain' version I may create and share that. There is also some visual effects on screen for the first 10 minutes. After this, the rest of the video is black-screen only.
This modern-day retelling is set in London and Scotland.
If you would be interested in me trying to turn other classic fairytales into modern-day retellings, let me know in the comments section which fairytales...
Here is an overview of the story:
Isabella "Bella" Hart is a bright young woman working in a London bookstore. She dreams of adventure and romance, but her reality is filled with the mundane. Her father, a widowed scientist, discovers an opportunity to explore ancient ruins in Scotland's Galloway Forest. A business tycoon named Gregory owns the land and invites Bella's father to explore it.
Bella's father uncovers a mysterious artefact, but accidentally breaks it. In fury, Gregory demands a favour in return. He returns home, troubled but unwilling to share his burden with Bella.
Bella discovers her father's secret and insists on fulfilling the promise herself. She travels to Braemorran Castle, finding a world of enchantment and secrets. Gregory, though distant and moody, is not as he seems.
Bella spends time with Gregory, learning about his past and his scars, both physical and emotional. They grow closer, discovering a shared love for literature, art, and music. Their friendship blossoms into something more.
A misunderstanding leads to a rift between Bella and Gregory. Bella returns to London, heartbroken. Gregory is left to reflect on his feelings and actions. Both realise what they've lost.
With encouragement from her friends, Bella returns to Braemorran Castle to confront her feelings and make amends with Gregory. They confess their love, and Gregory's metaphorical beast is tamed. They decide to face the future together, filled with hope, love, and understanding.
