A look at the classic "Cinderella" story from the perspective of one of her 'ugly' stepsisters

Between his tax problems and his legal battle with his wife for the custody of his daughter, these are hard times for the action movie star who finds that even Steven Seagal has pinched a role from him! This fictionalized version of Jean-Claude Van Damme returns to the country of his birth to seek the peace and tranquility he can no longer enjoy in the United States, but inadvertently gets involved in a bank robbery with hostages.

Ruggero, a meek young man, impulsively robs a bank to prove to his ex-wife that he is courageous and masculine. A police investigation engulfs everyone except our unassuming hero who is completely ignored. Through a set of hilarious coincidences, he gets away with the robbery, while corrupt bank officials take the fall for what looks like an inside job.

阿丽亚娜（娜塔丽·沃佳诺娃 Natalia Vodianova 饰）出生于家底雄厚的宗教家庭，美丽单纯的她早早就步入了婚姻的殿堂。一次偶然中，阿丽亚娜结识了一位名为索拉尔（乔纳森·莱斯·梅耶斯 Jonathan Rhys Meyers 饰）的英俊男子，后者为当时在政坛上叱咤风云的犹太裔外交官。
同样年轻气盛的两人，在一段短暂的相互挖掘和试探的过程之后理所当然的走到了一起，他们之间的爱火燃烧得是这样的猛烈，让他们几乎都失去了理智和自我。然而，随着时间的推移，分歧开始渐渐露出端倪，索拉尔欣赏阿丽亚娜的智慧和思想，但阿丽亚娜似乎仅仅沉溺于同索拉尔的鱼水之欢中无法自拔。在内心的冲突和外界的压力之下，一对璧人逐渐走上了悲剧的道路。
