Teaser

The video opens with a retelling of the classic fairy tale, introducing Cinderella’s stepsisters as the story’s villains. Lilith then interrupts the narration, insisting that the familiar version of events doesn’t tell the whole truth. She promises an adventure filled with “revenge, high-speed chases, and a ridiculously hot troll.”

According to the preview, Lilith and her sister Margot steal the Fairy Godmother’s wand and wreak havoc at the royal ball. Their actions throw the kingdom into chaos, allowing Priscilla to seize power. To stop her, Lilith teams up with Cinderella and a troll, setting off on an adventure that offers a fresh take on the classic fairy tale.
