Merida, a brave Scottish princess who no longer wants to be told what to do, grows taller year after year. And she certainly does not want to get married. Instead, she would much rather take control of her own life. However, in her father's house, the Scottish King Fergus, there is only one who has the final say – Merida's mother, Queen Elinor. When the courageous Merida breaks with tradition, she suddenly faces the wildest beasts of the land. Her actions ultimately unleash confusion and trouble far beyond the Scottish Highlands.
