In a fairy tale romantic story, a commoner is against seven Princesses to win over her Prince. The banquet where they are made to watch unclean plates is hilarious.
She does clean maximum plates but a few of her plates are already broken, before she touches them. The old trick of cutting the plates with a diamond from a royal ring! The French chef cannot allow the Prince to marry a peasant girl!!
Black & white visuals are soothing to the eyes.
