What happens

Cinderella the Cat (Italian: Gatta Cenerentola) is a 2017 Italian adult animated crime drama film directed by Alessandro Rak, Ivan Cappiello, Marino Guarnieri and Dario Sansone, loosely based on the Giambattista Basile's fable of the same name and Roberto De Simone's musical La Gatta Cenerentola. The plot is set in a decaying future Naples and concerns a mysterious mute teenager called Mia, who struggles to escape from the Camorra boss Salvatore Lo Giusto and Mia's vicious stepmother Angelica. The film had its world premiere in the Horizons section of the 74th Venice International Film Festival, and was released theatrically in Italy on 14 September 2017 by Videa. It was among the fourteen films shortlisted to be the Italian entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, but was not selected. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
