The visually captivating tale, Three Wishes For Cinderella (Tre Nøtter Til Askepott) by Norwegian director Cecilie Mosli, a remake of the Czech Christmas classic, will be digitally promoted by Sola Media for sales to LATAM. Norwegian pop star, Astrid S as strong and independent Cinderella gives the film a contemporary twist and therefore speaks to children and families alike.

The film is based on the internationally renowned play of the same name. The adaption is set in an undefined African country and reveals the hidden face of armed conflict and ponders the ambivalence of developed nations’ intervention in countries at war.
