Castilla. 1995. Victor is ten years old and loves popular folklore. You know what it means that what you like best in the world (dancing) is what hurts you the most. His mother works tirelessly and also cares day and night for a stepfather who is bedridden but with a very lively, sharp and hurtful tongue every time Victor appears through the door. When Victor dances, he transforms, laughs, dreams, escapes from the reality he has at home. What he could never imagine is that the same violence he received would be his own salvation.

When his father dies, poor Fella is left at the mercy of his snobbish stepmother and her two no-good sons Maximilian and Rupert. As he slaves away for his nasty step-family, Maximilian and Rupert attempt to find a treasure Fella's father has supposedly hidden on the estate. Hoping to restore her dwindling fortunes, the stepmother plans a fancy ball in honor of the visiting Princess Charmein whom she hopes will marry Rupert. Eventually, Fella's Fairy Godfather shows up to convince him that he has a shot at winning the Princess himself.
