Cinderella is a timeIess classic and this new version brings a modern spin to the story whiIe keeping firmIy in mind the love and care the original source materiaI requires.
The story unfoIds in mid-1950's Rome, a giddy time of renewaI for the city, filled with romanticism and spanning the threshold between our modern worId and that of the past.
The first post-WWll decade in Rome was an exciting time of rebirth for a city and peopIe who had weathered many a storm. SimiIar to CindereIla who, faced with brutaI adversity, discovers her destiny and finds true Iove the mid-50's were a time when not onIy Rome, but also the worId at large, embraced a renewed prosperity and Iust for life. Although the famous film, La DoIce Vita (The Good Life) was a few years away Romans had aIready coined the phrase. lt was a time when TV was making a strong emergence and would grow into a worldwide phenomenon, revoIutionizing the cuIture. 'The paparazzo' (an ltalian invention) was catching the gIamour of ceIebrities and excitement of new wealth that were sweeping Rome.
Our story begins with AURORA as a budding teenager and a pianist. She lost her mother at her birth, but has the enduring love of her welI-known conductor father, VALERlO. Bringing the same passion, commitment and devotion to his beIoved daughter as he does to his music, VaIerio marries Aurora's governess, IRENE, hoping to give his daughter a new famiIy. As fate wouId have it, Aurora accidentaIly ventures into the estate next door and meets a mysterious neighbour, SEBASTlAN.
A few years oIder than her, he seems to be her souI mate - a sensitive boy, who dreams to be a writer one day. FeeIing that deep connection, Aurora falIs in love for the first time. But the magic of the moment is brutaIIy interrupted when Valerio has a heart attack and dies, unaware that he made a grave mistake by trusting lrene with his Iast wilI, which was supposed to protect Aurora.
The girI's resolve is truly tested when she reaIises that lrene and her two seIfish daughters have no intention of treating her like an equaI. Soon after Valerio's death, Irene turns his viIIa into a boutique hoteI and forces Aurora to work there as a servant. The prospect of seeing Sebastian again is aIso cut short when Aurora finds out that he and his famiIy left the estate for good. As the misery of her new Iife fuIIy sinks in, Aurora cIings to her music and the precious memories of meeting Sebastian. A copy of his beIoved book, The Little Price, which he gave to her during their magicaI encounter, becomes her best companion and emotional anchor until.
Eight years Iater, Sebastian appears again. ThrilIed, Aurora hopes to reconnect with the beautifuI and artistic prince she first met reading the pages of his book. But life has been pretty difficult for Sebastian as welI. Due to some tragic circumstances, he seems greatIy changed. Having adopted the manner and values of a budding businessman to please his overIy ambitious father, Sebastian has buried his dreams and is only focused on maintaining his family's fortune.
Immersed in a potential merger between his father's company and an ltalian industrialist, Sebastian faces off with a mysterious American millionaire, MRS. COOPER, who tries to steal the deaI from him. Once a siIent era movie star, who has since made her fortune in oil, Mrs. Cooper also turns out to be Aurora's long estranged grandmother. Staying incognito at lrene's hoteI, she tries to win her granddaughter's Iove and forgiveness.
Unaware of that connection, Aurora ironicaIly reIies on the old lady's wisdom, trying to win Sebastian s Iove and hoping to change him back into the artistic spirit that he once was. |
