action
- Part 1
Post-war Rome : 13-year-old Aurora de Luca lives with her father Valerio, a conductor, and her stepmother Irene and their daughters Lucia and Teresina in Rome. Irene came into the house after Aurora's mother died to run the household. When her father suddenly dies, Irene converts the family home into a hotel. In addition, Aurora is taken from the private school and works instead as a kitchen worker in the hotel. Aurora would much rather attend a conservatory as she inherited the talent of her late mother, a great pianist. One day Aurora meets Sebastian Ausperg and his brother Freddie in the villa next door. She immediately falls in love with Sebastian and arranges to meet him the next day, but the Ausperg family has already moved out.
The family returns shortly before Aurora's 21st birthday. Aurora visits Sebastian, but Sebastian doesn't recognize her. Sebastian took over his father Edwin's company after his brother's death and is currently preparing a difficult contract with Martone. At the same time, the successful American businesswoman Laura Cooper arrives at the Hotel De Luca to spy on the Ausperg family and sign Martone himself. She befriends Aurora and often clashes with Irene.
Sebastian hires Aurora as a maid for a drink. There is a small accident through which Aurora learns that Sebastian can still remember her. But this plans to advance the contracts with Martone, to take his daughter Tina as his wife. For this reason he is organizing a masked ball and wants to propose marriage to Tina on the occasion. Irene also got three invitations through a ruse. Aurora can't believe this and howls at Laura. Since she also received an invitation, she passes it on to Aurora. Aurora makes a dress for the party from her mother's wedding dress, but it is destroyed by Lucia and Teresina. Again, it's Laura who helps Aurora and makes sure that she gets a lovely dress.
As soon as he appeared at the masquerade ball, all eyes were on Aurora. Sebastian also becomes aware of her and falls in love with her, much to the displeasure of Edwin and Tina. In the adjoining labyrinth, Sebastian and the masked Aurora get closer and kiss. When Tina suddenly appears, Aurora quickly leaves the labyrinth and loses a shoe. Sebastian finds it and takes it. Meanwhile, Tina finds out that Sebastian was in the labyrinth with the stranger and leaves the ball with her father. Aurora decides to tell Sebastian the truth and invites him to a piano concert. When he receives the invitation, he suspects and hopes that it comes from the masked beauty. When he only meets Aurora at the concert, he is surprised that no one else shows up. Aurora is disappointed and keeps her secret to herself in the belief that a kitchen helper is not what Sebastian wanted.
- Part 2
At the same time, Sebastian decides to investigate Laura Cooper, as he suspects that she is up to something. When he learns a shocking story from his informant about Laura's past - she disinherited her daughter at the time - he decides not to publish the information. Nevertheless, the story got into the press. Irene sees the picture of Laura's daughter in the daily newspaper and recognizes Aurora's mother in it. Since the connection between Laura and Aurora is a thorn in her side, she reveals the truth about Laura to her stepdaughter. Aurora is disappointed in her grandmother and withdraws from her.
Meanwhile, Sebastian reconciles with Tina and prepares the wedding, but he cannot forget the stranger. During a trip with Aurora, he discovered that he had already met her then. He also knows that she is a gifted pianist and persuades her to play in a pub. They are harassed by reporters but are able to flee. The two young people almost kiss under a bridge, but Sebastian backs down. He explains to Aurora that he has fallen in love with the stranger and only sees her as a good friend.
Irene now has financial problems, which is why she wants to sell Aurora's piano. Aurora asks her to withdraw the money from her fund that she is due on her 21st birthday. With the money she wants to secure lessons at a conservatory. Irene reveals to her, however, that she has already spent the money from her fund. Aurora claims that she has a copy of her father's will, which shows that she is not allowed to do so. When Irene comes up with the idea to search Aurora's room, she finds the shoe that Aurora wore at the masquerade ball.
On Aurora's 21st birthday, Sebastian shows up at the hotel to congratulate her. Irene uses this occasion to show Sebastian the Auroras shoe. Now he knows that Aurora is the stranger from the masked ball. Irene also claims that Aurora acted on behalf of her grandmother Laura to spy on Sebastian. Sebastian then breaks up with her, disappointed. Aurora is deeply sad and leaves the hotel. Thanks to her former piano teacher, Aurora finally receives a scholarship at a conservatory. There she meets her grandmother again, who wants to hear Aurora play the piano. There is a reconciliation between the two.
At the same time, a lawyer shows up at the hotel who tells Irene that her lawyer has been charged with forgery of documents. After the death of her husband Valerio, Irene had the will forged because the property was actually inherited from Aurora. Irene has to leave the house with her two daughters, but swears that she will return.
When Sebastian and Tina's wedding day came, he realized that he didn't love Tna and canceled the wedding celebrations at short notice. Since Aurora is giving her first concert at this point, he rushes there. He asks Aurora to forgive him, because she had made him be himself again. A kiss seals the decision to stay together.

criticism
The Movie Scene page said the film was an Italian version of the classic fairy tale, but had been beautified and changed. Although the film, which was originally a miniseries, lasted almost three and a half hours, it was a time that was well spent. The extensions of the traditional Cinderella story is not the only impressive thing about Cenerentola , as director Christian Duguay has created a wonderful film that benefits from a magical Italian landscape and also manages to keep the plot going in such a way that you never do Feel like it's taking too long. Natalia Wörner was praised in her role as the evil Irene and Flavio Parenti as Sebastian. The stars of the film, however, are two attractive women, once Vanessa Hessler as Aurora and the other Ruth Maria Kubitschek as Mrs. Cooper. Both are impressive. They also combine such great chemistry that one is touched, and Kubitschek has one of these faces and the ability to express something without having to speak.
TV Spielfilm, on the other hand, kept its thumbs down and (condemned) the film: “Simple, poorly played, without any Rome flair.” Conclusion: “Three deaf nuts for this cinderella.”
