A deeply introspective drama that traces how childhood sexual abuse reverberates through an adult survivor's life, using dance as both wound and pathway to healing.

Odette is a 8-yr-old girl who loves to dance and draw. Once she has become an adult, Odette realizes she was abused, and immerses herself body and soul in her career as a dancer while trying to deal with her past.
