A Little ShoeSummary
A commercial promoting the Krása [Beauty] company footwear shop and filmed on the motifs of the Cinderella fairy tale.
Synopsis
A king glimpses a beautiful girl in a forest and falls in love with her. The shy girl runs away, but she loses her little shoe. The king returns to his palace in sorrow, with only the lost shoe. His advisers receive an order to announce that a bride with the most beautiful shoes is wanted. Messengers on horses then spread the announcement throughout the country. Crowds of girls minded to marry approach the castle. The appeal gets as far as to a little forest cottage owned by a shoemaker. He, too, does not hesitate and sets off to the palace with his daughter whom the king had encountered in the forest. The king recognizes his chosen one from her shoe.
Note
Filming the commercial employed the Gasparcolor system.
