The tale of a
prince who reaches a charmed realm and gets what no other human being was or is capable of achieving:
eternal youth and
life. Son of a great king, and unlike any other children, he obtains from his father even since his birth day, the promise that he will give him the gift of eternal youth and life.
Prince Charming is beautiful, intelligent and loved by everyone and most of all by his parents who wanted so much to have him. But he is not satisfied with this and asks his father to give him the promised gift. The day when the prince
leaves his palace to find what his soul needs is a
mourning day for his kingdom. But he quickly overcomes the pain of leaving the loved ones behind, as he finds the eternal life and youth realm. Happy there for a long time, he forgets everything from his past, till one day when, although warned not to do it, he reaches the Mourning Valley. It''s the moment when he remembers everything and a deep longing for his family and home overwhelms him. So he has to go back home. But he is surprised to find out everything was different as the world had gone on, changing as was and is natural.
A beautiful tale based on the ever present striving of man to have more than he has and to defeat the
common destined end. Yet, a tale that leaves a bitter taste as man is shown as going back to his origin and having the same end (he had just delayed it).
