Tři oříšky pro popelku/Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Three Wishes for Cinderella (; , also called in English Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella or Three Gifts for Cinderella) is a 1973 Czechoslovak-East German film based on the fairy-tale Cinderella.
Plot
Cinderella's stepmother has the village in a frenzy preparing for the arrival of the king and queen, who will be stopping en route to their nearby castle. Cinderella takes the blame for a kitchen boy's accident, prompting her stepmother to berate her as well as her late father. Enraged, Cinderella snaps back at her, and is subsequently punished by having to separate lentils and ashes mixed together in a bucket. As she settles down to work, her friends, a flock of white doves, come in to separate the mixture for her. Freed of her punishment, Cinderella visits the stable to see her white horse, which she used to ride in the forest with her father while hunting. As the royal party approaches, everyone gathers to greet them, except Cinderella, who is forbidden to attend as the Stepmother wants to showcase her own less attractive daughter, Dora, since the Prince is expected to marry soon.
