This is a story about a young woman whose dream of becoming a ballerina is repeatedly blocked by her physical limitations – her legs are disproportionately long. The film uses animation to illustrate this obstacle. Unable to reconcile her ambition with reality, she isolates herself in a remote house, dedicating herself to dance and then, increasingly, to knitting. As despair sets in, the film questions whether anything can offer her a path back from loneliness and a life defined by her limitations.
