艾拉(安妮•海瑟薇 饰)出生与一个色彩斑斓的奇幻世界中,每个在这里出生的孩子都会得到仙女的“礼物”。而可爱的艾拉得到的“礼物”是服从。自此,无论是多苛刻的要求,只要一声命令,艾拉便会一一照办。艾拉母亲去世前便叮嘱她以后要用自己内心的真实信念去抗行咒语,而且必须找到下咒语的魔女才能完全解除咒语。此时的艾拉已经饱受继母及继母女儿的折磨,而她告诉自己必须要找到当年的魔女。 但一切进行得并不顺利,而在一个偶然的机会中,她认识了英俊的王子查尔。自小父母便离世的查尔十分听从叔叔的话。艾拉跟王子很快便坠入了爱河,当回到城堡的时候,艾拉发现了查尔叔叔的秘密,而且她身上的咒语更受到了查尔叔叔的利用……Based on Gail Carson Levine's award winning novel, this is the story of Ella, a young woman who was given a "gift" of obedience by a fairy named Lucinda. She must obey anything anyone tells her to do. When her mother passes away, she is cared for by her thoughtless and greedy father who remarries a loathsome woman with two treacherous daughters. This modern-day, fantasy Cinderella story features fairies, ogres and elves...as well as a hero in the guise of Prince Charmont, whom Ella falls in love with. Unlike Cinderella though, she must depend on herself and her intelligence to get her through her troubles and find Lucinda in order for her "curse" to be broken!
