A live-action retelling of the classic Cinderella fairy tale, following a kind-hearted young woman kept in servitude by her cruel stepfamily. When a royal ball offers a chance at a different life, she must decide whether love and courage can overcome the gulf between her world and the prince's.
What are you doing out of bed, child? I heard a monster yelling. That's no monster. That is just your poor, mad Uncle Matthew.
Uncle Matthew? But Father said... Your father is dead. Your uncle lost his wits when he heard the news.
He's dangerous. It's a mercy to lock him away. He can't hurt anyone. I'm protecting us. Do you understand?
Yes. Good girl. Now never go near these stairs again. The mad are quite unpredictable.
