Cinderella

Synopsis

The story of Cinderella follows the fortunes of young Ella whose father remarries following the tragic death of her mother. When Ella's father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel stepmother and stepsisters... But, when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a royal ball, might her fortunes begin to change? Will she go to the ball? Well, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman steps forward, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, and changes her life forever.
