In a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira (Lea Myren) will compete with her beautiful and enchanting stepsister Agnes (Thea-Sofie Loch Næss) to become the belle of the ball.

Under her mother’s direction, Elvira subjects herself to dancing lessons, primitive plastic surgery, and much, much, worse, but her swanlike transformation comes at a devastating (and gruesome) price.

"Emilie Blichfeldt’s grotesque reworking of the Cinderella story creates a world where beauty is pain for some women, but life is pain for all of them." Sight and Sound
