Arianna, figlia del re Minos e sorella del Minotauro, è molto diversa dai suoi fratelli. Cresciuta con le leggende degli eroi greci, decide di prendere in mano il suo destino, rifiutando di lasciarlo nelle mani degli dèi. Ogni anno osserva Atene, sottomessa, inviare 14 giovani a Creta come tributo per placare la fame del Minotauro. Nonostante i suoi tentativi di opporsi a questa crudeltà, tutto cambia quando si innamora di uno dei condannati. Teseo le promette di portarla ad Atene se lo aiuterà a uccidere la bestia. Arianna rivela l'ingresso al labirinto e gli regala un filo rosso di lana, affinché possa ritrovare la strada per tornare da lei. Insieme salpano, ma Teseo la abbandona sull'isola di Naxos. Così inizia la vera storia di Arianna, che finalmente prende il controllo del proprio destino.
