Ana Brassfield has her path to the stage
of the Metropolitan
Opera House all figured out until her first love, renowned
German dancer Claus Gert, returns to Georgia to win her
back. Despite a promising start towards her ballet career
and pending marriage to landscape architect, Peter Engberg,
Ana wonders if her dreams of dancing at the Met are as
impossible as her previous romantic relationship with
Claus.
Then, an on-stage kiss between Ana and Claus
changes everything.
Convinced the kiss is more than a
one-time mistake, Peter
breaks off their engagement. With an old dog crippled by
arthritis and dreams deferred but not left behind, Ana moves
to Germany to be with Claus. But the ghost of his late wife,
Ana’s own feelings for Peter, and the pressure of earning a
spot in a large ballet company are a high price for a shot
at success. Ana seems on the verge of having everything she
ever dreamed of, but will it be enough?
