Rosaspina’s eyes were only closed but she breathed smoothly; she wasn’t dead. The king ordered everyone to let her sleep in peace until the time to awake arrived.
One hundred years passed and a lot of thing happened on the world! The first and second world war, the seventies, the Beatles, television, gay marriages, Facebook… Rosaspina fell asleep as a little girl and woke up as a woman.
