The Ugly Stepsister
If the shoe doesn't fit...
Directed by Emilie Blichfeldt
Produced by Mer Film, Lava Films
A darkly comedic body-horror satire that weaponizes the Cinderella myth to skewer beauty standards and female competition.
In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira battles to compete with her incredibly beautiful stepsister, Agnes, and she will go to any length to catch the Prince’s eye.
