Prince Friedrich leads a life that many dream of: his friends Toni and Benno are always up for fun, he lives in an enchanted castle and has no obligations whatsoever. Until his mother, Queen Luise, decides that it is time for him to marry.
But Friedrich prefers to flee with his friends to the mysterious forest of the sorcerer Rotbart. There, at Swan Lake, he meets the enchanted Odette. During the day, she must live as a swan, and only true love can break the spell.
Friedrich and Odette grow closer, which displeases the wizard Rotbart. After all, he wants to see his daughter Odile at the prince's side so that he can seize the entire kingdom. In an attempt to deceive them, he puts the prince to the test: will Friedrich succeed in recognising the real Odette and breaking the spell?
