Birds of Paradise

Kate Sanders is an ambitious and gifted, aspiring ballerina given a scholarship to attend a prestigious ballet school in Paris. On arriving at the cutthroat, internationally-renowned institution, her confidence and emotional fortitude are tested by a beautiful, mysterious fellow dancer. Their relationship evolves into an emotionally-charged, competitive union beset by lies, and sexual awakening as they risk everything to win the school’s ultimate prize: a contract to join the Opéra national de Paris.
