Happy Ever After
A short film that picks up where Disney's Cindadrella leaves off: the ball is over, the wedding finished, no more butterflies in the stomach. 'Cindy' and her prince are now at the point in the narrative where things get serious: Life decisions are coming up, buying a house is within reach, and even if everything seems to be going perfectly at first glance, something seems to be missing. By chance, Cindy meets three non-binary fairies who help her discover a space for queer utopias, polyamorous desire, and alternative ways of living.
