The Boy Who Wanted to Be Cinderella" is a heartwarming and magical ten-part story about Ivo, a kind-hearted young man who dreams of finding his prince in a world where such love is unspoken. Growing up in a society that expects him to follow tradition, Ivo struggles with loneliness and self-doubt, longing for a fairytale that mirrors his own heart's desires.
One summer, he meets George-a charming and compassionate young man-by the lake, and for the first time, Ivo feels the possibility of love. But as fate would have it, George is bound by duty to marry a woman, leaving Ivo heartbroken and questioning whether he will ever find the love he dreams of.
Just as he begins to lose hope, a mysterious blue fairy appears, guiding him through a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and courage. When a grand ball is announced to find the young prince's future wife, Ivo sneaks into the palace, unaware that his final test-and his greatest transformation-awaits.
This story is not just about love but about embracing one's true self despite fear, judgment, and societal expectations. With elements of fairytales and reality intertwined, The Boy Who Wanted to Be Cinderella is a tale of hope, identity, and the enduring power of dreams.
