In the living room, Cendrillon laments her poverty and wonders if she will ever find love. They knock on the door. A homeless man asks for something to eat. Actually it is the prince who wants to get to know the girls who live there more closely. Later, the prince returns home, this time disguised as a camerlengo, to invite the whole family to a ball at the palace. The father disowns Cendrillon and goes to the dance in the company of his other two daughters. Cendrillon falls asleep, but a fairy wakes her up and, with her magic, dresses her up and puts her on a carriage to attend the ball. There is only one condition: you must be home by midnight.
