What happens

Ever After (known in promotional material as Ever After: A Cinderella Story) is a 1998 American romantic period drama film directed by Andy Tennant from his own screenplay, co-written by Susannah Grant and Rick Parks. Co-produced by Fox Family Films and Mireille Soria Production, the film is inspired by Charles Perrault's 1697 fairy tale Cinderella and stars Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, with Dougray Scott and Jeanne Moreau in supporting roles. The film removes the pantomime and supernatural elements commonly found in retellings of the Cinderella tale and instead treats the story as historical fiction, setting it in Renaissance-era France. Ever After released in theaters on July 31, 1998, to positive reviews from critics. It was a box-office success, grossing $98 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
