Cinders

I was at the theatre. Luckily, it was Radzio who chose the play this time, so we could eventually enjoy seeing it(I chose 2 previous ones and both were cancelled, bad luck?). Now, after the play, I couldn't be more grateful to him. It turned out to be really moving.
It was "Cinders" by Janusz Glowacki, a story about girls from reform school, who are to perform "Cinderella" fairy tale. A documentary director arrives to film it, willing to include or rather make girls personal stories the key issue of his movie, so the media here are quite blatantly accused of abusing people's dramas just to make headlines.
After the play we were quarrelling whether the main character, so-called Cinderella was pure or egoist. Makes quite a difference. If you have a chance to read or see it, do it!
