In a conservatory in the center of Paris, ballet dancers prepare to go on 2 00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:17,339 stage and the ballerina who is tying her points has a worried face. Her father is going to see 3 00:00:17,339 --> 00:00:23,980 her perform for the first time after eight years without attending any of her performances. 4 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:33,539 Her parents have separated and since then she has taken refuge in the ballet to avoid seeing them fight. 5 00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:44,179 Her best friend, sitting behind her watching her, is worried because she has seen her having a hard time the last few months. 6 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:53,079 Both have been dancing since they were three years old and have been friends since they were four. 7 00:00:53,979 --> 00:01:03,700 When Anne comes out of the stage, she talks to her friend and tells her that her father again has not attended. 8 00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:14,099 Once again, Anne goes crying to the dressing room and her friend comforts her as she has done every performance for the last eight years.
