This enchanting Czech Christmas classic has become a Central European yuletide staple thanks to its perennial presence on television each holiday season. A charming, spirited twist on the classic fairy tale, THREE WISHES FOR CINDERELLA updates the beloved story with a picturesque, woodsy wintertime setting and a refreshingly sharp-witted, assertive heroine (Libuše Šafránková), a housemaid who uses her wits and many talents—along with a bit of help from some magical hazelnuts—to win her prince and find her happily ever after.
