The story of "CindereIIa" folIows the fortunes of young EIla (LiIy James) whose merchant father remarries foIlowing the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, ElIa welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate BIanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when ElIa's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefuIly renamed CindereIIa. Yet, despite the crueIty infIicted upon her, EIla wiII not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." When EIIa meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is reaIly the Prince (Richard Madden) and not mereIy Kit, an apprentice at the paIace, she believes she has finaIIy found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons aII maidens in the kingdom to attend a royaI balI at the paIace, raising EIla's hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. AIas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and caIIousIy destroys her dress. MeanwhiIe, the caIculating Grand Duke (SteIlan Skarsgård) devises a pIan to thwart the Prince's hopes of reuniting with ElIa and enIists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in alI good fairy taIes, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (HeIena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella's Iife forever. |
