Synopsis

Elvira, the ugly stepsister in a well-to-do family, gets ready to win over the prince's affections at any cost. In a kingdom where beauty is a ruthless business, Elvira will compete with the gorgeous and charming Agnes, her beautiful stepsister, to become the queen of the ball. A sinister retelling of the Cinderella story with high doses of body horror, it was a smash hit in the midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival.
