CENDRILLON

By Joël Pommerat

Sandra's Mother has fallen gravely ill and she can only speak in a whisper. Repeating her few words over and over, Sandra believes she can make time stand still. Cendrillon explores the fairy stories we tell ourselves to survive the present, and how, in letting go of the past, we open up the future to dreams we can only imagine.
