The movie was a fake fairy tale (it had the whole medieval setup, Once Upon A Time storytelling etc) about a girl who was cursed by a fairy as a baby to be unable to disobey orders and requests.
In the fairy's words, she had just created the most obedient child in the world. She displays this by telling the baby to stop crying, and she instantly stops.
Right afterwards, the scene changes to a Time Skip where she's a young girl. She was told by her mother to get down the stairs and practice her violin. The girl - aware of her curse - tried to go down slowly but her mother repeated the phrase and she went down the stairs with Super-Speed. She was also ordered to never reveal her curse to anyone.
By the way, the girl was blonde, living in a rural but really nice house (two stories and very bright), while the fairy was dressed in black.
Never mind, I found it. It was a film adaptation of Ella Enchanted.
