Neneh is a little 12-year-old black girl. Born to dance, she dreams of gaining entry to the Paris Opera ballet school. Despite her enthusiasm, she will need to work twice as hard to escape her condition and gain acceptance from Marianne Bellage, the director of the establishment and an upholder of traditions, who hides a secret connecting her to the little ballerina…。Veronica (Caterina Murino) is a young, beautiful woman who is married to a fertilizer sales representative.
