The girl, La Cendrillon, and the boy, Raoul, pass sixteen years in the servants care until one day a very fine lady arrives with her two daughters. The lady has married La Cendrillons father, and her arrival changes their lives.

When an invitation to a great ball reaches the family, La Cendrillons new stepmother will make a decision with far-reaching effects. Her choice will lead La Cendrillon and Raoul toward their destinya choice that will challenge their understanding of family, test their loyalty and courage, and, ultimately, teach them who they are.
