Elvira, the oldest of Rebekka’s daughters, is a dreamy, braces-wearing teen who swoons over the kingdom’s handsome prince and his romantic poetry. But when Otto dies suddenly and it is revealed that he was deeply in debt, Rebekka is forced to pile all her hopes for financial stability on the prince choosing Elvira as his bride at the upcoming ball. In order for the plain and gawky Elvira to catch his eye, she must undergo a series of horrifying medical procedures to become more beautiful.
