Summaries

Storyline

Elvira will go to any lengths to compete with her insanely-beautiful stepsister, the enchanting Agnes, and is willing to use blood, sweat, and tears to conquer the prince's heart. In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira fights tooth and nail to become the belle of the ball. — Berlinale More than anything in the world, Elvira, a romantic soul with a sweet tooth, wants to marry Prince Julian, the kingdom's most desirable bachelor. But first she must shed a few pounds and get rid of her unflattering braces before the royal ball at the castle. There is no turning back; the ugly duckling must transform into a beauty at all costs. So, with her eyes set on the grand prize, Elvira gets a professional makeover to stand a chance of wooing the handsome young host. After all, the competition is fierce. However, when is enough enough? Above all else, is Elvira's boring Prince Charming worth the trouble? — Nick Riganas
