Beautiful enough to make you dream!
After her father’s death, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who—unlike her sister Dora—makes her work as a maid. Still, she dreams of freedom and adventure. One day, when her path leads her into the snow-covered forest, she meets the prince—a snowball, a laugh, a glance.

When the prince invites her to the ball, her stepmother refuses to let her attend. Thanks to three magical hazelnuts, Cinderella manages to secretly attend the royal ball. During the dance, the prince has eyes only for her, but when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella loses a shoe on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
