hi! I'm gonna try and keep this explanation simple, Bella is a ballerina in the United Kingdom that overworks herself because of her mother, Nora. Nora is an alcoholic and smokes, she's caused childhood trauma to Bella. Bella can never focus in class, so her friend and classmate daisy tries to help her. Bella's mother would always compare her to the rest, saying how bad she is. Bella drowns in self pity and self loathing because of that, losing focus on everything and even her own health because of it. Daisy wakes Bella up, not literally. And with that, the competition day has arrived. Bella does her best as she finally feels free from her mother and her abuse. Bella finally feels the art of ballet, and she wins first place in the competition. her mother is angry at that, of course. and what happens after that? you'll have to wait to find out ;).
