Ever After

Ever After is a revisionist version of the Cinderella fairy tale. In a supporting role, Jeanne Moreau plays the French noblewoman who can tell the true story of Cinderella, and it is a funny, romantic and exciting story.

Danielle has no mother, but despite that she is a happy and lively girl until the day her father suddenly dies. Shortly before, he married the proud and ambitious Rodmilla, who has two daughters, Marguerite and Jacqueline, from her first marriage. After her father's death, it is a different tune. Danielle is put to work waiting on her stepmother and two stepsisters.

Contrary to the usual image, Danielle is no meek maiden who meekly puts up with everything and patiently waits for her prince. Time and again she shows resourcefulness and strength. When Rodmilla sells one of the servants, Danielle sets off on a rescue mission dressed as a fine young lady. There she happens to meet Prince Henry, who is captivated by her and her forthright manner. It will not be the last time the prince and the servant girl run into each other, for the prince is on the lookout for a princess. Danielle knows all too well, however, that a servant girl is no princess, but this is a real fairy tale, after all...
