Cinderella is a nice, kind and beautiful young woman who lives with the evil stepmother and her awkward daughters.

The enchanted prince, whom Cinderella doesn't even know yet, uses all his time in front of his mirror and navigating it. But an old-fashioned ballad, with the force of the Fairy Godmother, can change everything.
