Info

Noémie, Dorothée and their mother are preparing to go to a court ball, where the two sisters will be presented to the king. Lucette is not allowed to come along because she still has household chores to do. She falls asleep sad and in a dream the fairy appears surrounded by elves. The fairy makes sure she gets a stunning ball gown and a beautiful carriage, so that she can still go to the party. She gets a slipper on her feet which has magical powers that make her unrecognizable to her family. She has to be home before midnight, so Cinderella runs away, but in her haste she loses a slipper. The prince, hopelessly in love with the mysterious woman at the ball, is looking for the one who fits the slipper. When he finally finds his lost love, everyone is happy; even the stepmother who gets the prince as a son-in-law. And everyone lived happily ever after…
