10th East German Film Festival - Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella

Wednesday, 29 March, 2017

Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella. Dir. Václav Vorliček. 1974. 74” Dubbed in English.

After her father's death, Cinderella's stepmother forces her to work as a maid at the family's manor, but all the servants and animals are fond of her because of her kind heart. When Cinderella meets a prince in the woods, she falls in love with him but is too embarrassed by her ragged clothes to act on her feelings. The family's coachman gives Cinderella three magic hazelnuts containing three different garments: men's hunting garb, a ball gown, and a wedding dress. Cinderella uses these disguises to cleverly and bravely to capture the prince's heart, and after a long search, the prince finally recognizes the young woman he met in the woods.

Free and open to the public.
