and Pearl are sisters. They are both coping with the grief of losing
their mother in very different ways. Pearl begins to experiment with
white magic and gets expelled from school. Delia dives into her ballet
with dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. She believes that through
hard work she can do the things she wants. But life at the elite
Elanova School of Dance is not what Delia expected. She is relegated
to the back row and is constantly criticized by Madame Elanova for being
too fat and too ordinary. Will these girls find their true destiny
in life? Or will the find that this is all there is? |
