Meet Camilla, a seventeen-year-old girl like many others, and like many others somewhat special. She lives in a quiet city in Northern Italy, she is a good student and doesn’t get along with her younger sister Francesca. She has a dream, which her mother (a pragmatic and hard-working woman from Eastern Europe) doesn’t understand, unlike her father, who is more “maternal” and supportive.
Camilla wants to become a ballet dancer and an upcoming audition to be admitted into a prestigious academy is a great opportunity.
But Sara, another aspiring ballerina, disrupts Camilla’s life like an unrelenting summer wind. She is eighteen, charismatic and sexy, with a wealthy father and an absent mother.
Provoking and affectionate moments, drama, pivotal decisions, twists and turns will alter the course of their relationship in unexpected ways, changing Camilla’s life forever.
