Summary
A dark body-horror reimagining of the Cinderella story told from the perspective of one of the stepsisters, Elvira, who endures brutal beauty procedures and self-mutilation in a desperate bid to win the prince at the upcoming royal ball. As her stepsister Agnes (the Cinderella figure) effortlessly captures attention, Elvira's quest for transformation grows increasingly grotesque and destructive.
