Forlorn heiress Penelope Wilhern is cursed, and the only way out is to fall in love with someone of suitable stock. But how can she find her soulmate when she's sequestered inside her family's estate with only her parents to keep her company? This untraditional fairy tale is about a girl who bucks convention to create her own happy ending.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender fairy-tale remix where a cursed heiress rejects the Prince Charming narrative and finds agency in her own story. It's a gentle, candy-colored tale about self-acceptance wrapped in the language of storybook romance.
