Plot: Sent to the market by his uncle to sell their horse and buy thatch for their roof, Jack meets the beautiful Princess Isabelle whom he rescues her from ruffians. He returns home only with a handful of beans given to him by a monk who claimed they were sacred but that does little to impress his uncle who tosses them away. In the night the Princess arrives having run off to keep from marrying Roderick who is clearly only interested in becoming king. Soon the beans take root with a giant stalk carrying away the princess and Jack's house. He soon sets off on an adventure with the king's guards to rescue the princess only to find that a mythical land filled with giants really exists.

Isabelle: [Jack arrives to rescue her from the giants] You're here!::Jack: You sound surprised.::Isabelle: Yeah, well, we're miles up and you're afraid of heights.::Jack: I'm not afraid. Just not wildly keen.

King Brahmwell: [as Jack returns Isabelle home safely] As a king, I can reward you with many things. As a father, I can never reward you enough.

Uncle: [p.o.'d at his nephew for the 'goods' received in trade for his horse]... I don't ask for much... In return for all those years I put food in your belly; clothes on your back; a roof over your head... So what do I have to show for it?... Beans!::Jack: I'll, I'll take them to The Abbey tomorrow and we'll tell the monks what happened!::Uncle: You believe that story?::Jack: I mean, he was a monk!::Uncle: -Cuz he wore a robe... funny haircut?

One day he runs out of both of his drugs and is forced to leave his apartment sober, to buy new whiskey at the supermarket. An unbelievable adventure begins. Of course he falls desperately (and unrequited) in love with the beautiful cashier. Afterwards, he makes friends with 'Hobbit', a homeless guy. Not being able to speak to the cashier, he follows Hobbits advice and goes to a speed dating session, where he meets Amelie. They have a fight which ends with Hans accidentally inviting Amelie to a movie night with him and Hobbit. The three become best friends and everything could be just awesome. But one day, a fairy appears in Hans' apartment and takes him on a journey through his cheap IKEA wardrobe, into a mystical fantasy-land, where the weird wizard Gregor lives. Gregor offers to make the beautiful cashier fall in love with Hans, if Hans gives him a dream. Hans takes the offer, not knowing that Gregor follows his own, evil plans to take over the world by summoning the 'Great Old Ones'. Horror begins, reality seems to dissolve slowly while surrealistic nightmares take over.
