Trap for Cinderella (2013 film)

Trap for Cinderella is a 2013 British thriller drama film written and directed by Iain Softley and starring Tuppence Middleton, Alexandra Roach, Kerry Fox, Aneurin Barnard, Frances de la Tour and Emilia Fox.

Based on the novel Piège pour Cendrillon by Sébastien Japrisot, the film is about a young woman who loses her memory after surviving a fire that kills her childhood friend.

Through reading her dead friend's diary, she begins to put the pieces of her shattered life back together.

Her aunt, Elinor (Frances de la Tour), took care of her ever since, but had died sometime before Micky's accident.

Her aunt's personal assistant Julia (Kerry Fox) is now her guardian and takes Micky home.

A boy named Jake (Aneurin Barnard) tries to contact her, but Julia intercepts the call and tells him that Micky is not ready to meet her friends.

While Julia is distracted by a call, Micky takes a cab and goes to the address on the envelope, which turns out to be the office of James Chance, Elinor's lawyer as well as Jake's employer.

Leaving the office before Chance could warn Julia, Micky runs into Jake, who invites her to his apartment.

The two of them were close childhood friends who used to vacation together with their families at Elinor's house in the South of France.

Micky continues to read the diary, chronicling the period that saw the girls spending more and more time together after they first reconnected.

The film's soundtrack was music supervised by Universal Music Publishing Group and includes music from Cassius, Cat's Eyes, Crystal Castles, Crystal Fighters, Fixers, Glasser, James Blake, Joker ft. Jessie Ware, Metronomy, Pauline Croze, Peter Sarstedt, The Chemical Brothers and Nouvelle Vague’s cover of Joy Division ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.
