Ever After: A Cinderella Story

In 19th century France, the Brothers Grimm answer a summons from the Grand Dame at which she expresses her disappointment in their fantastic story of Cinderella. She produces a glass slipper and recounts Cinderella’s actual story.

In Renaissance-era France, eight-year old Danielle is the daughter of widower Auguste De Barbarac, a wealthy merchant who owns a manor in the country. Auguste returns home with his new wife, Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent, and her two daughters from her previous marriage, Marguerite and Jacqueline. A fortnight later, Auguste dies of a heart attack. In his final moments, he turns away from Rodmilla to tell his daughter that he loves her.
