Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (2002)
  • Caption: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (2002)
  • Description: The story follows Iris, the plain younger daughter of Margarethe Fisher, as she takes care of her mentally challenged older sister named Ruth, and her stepsister, Clara. Having fled from England to Haarlem, Iris is slightly at odds with the world and often contemplates the value of beauty and ugliness. While caring for her sisters and keeping the peace between Clara and Margarethe, Iris begins to develop the eye of a painter and takes some time to apprentice with a local painter known as The Master, and his apprentice, Caspar.

    On the verge of losing everything they have gained after a sudden drop in their stock market, Margerethe devises a plan for her two daughters, Iris and Ruth, to attend the ball being held in honor of the Dowager Queen of France and her godson, Prince of Marsillac. Leaving out Clara, who, she knows full well, would abandon her new family in the poor house if wed to the prince instead. While there, Ruth does the unthinkable for jealousy and love of Clara and Master. That night fairy tale of Cinderella and her pumpkin carriage is spun, and the next morning her prince comes to collect her.
