What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

When a witch puts a curse on the mean-spirited Prince Adam, she changes the thing he loves the most: his looks. As a handsome man, he treated people badly. Now, left as a beast, he hides away from sight, angry at his lot in life. But when he meets Belle, his once-hard heart is softened and the beauty that was hidden so deeply within him comes to the surface. The animated classic Beauty and the Beast proves yet again that true beauty lies not in the way people look, but what is in their heart.
