The story is set in 1924. Ferenc Molnár has “moved on” from his latest stormy love affair with none other than the actress diva of the era, Sári Fedák. This inspires him to share the lessons learned from his ordeal in a “reversed” Cinderella story, where it is not the prince, but rather the poor girl who is searching for the one who “fits the shoe.” Irma Szabó, the maid, is hopelessly and fatally in love with Lajos Sipos, a cabinetmaker twenty years her senior, who is about to marry another woman… However, his betrothed, Adél, the owner of a guest house, is not interested in him, but rather Pál Császár, a jeweler’s assistant. How can this love quadrangle be resolved? In Pál Göttinger’s play, all will be revealed, including the fate of “Cinderella”.
Directed by: Pál Göttinger
