Amazon has released a trailer for Birds of Paradise.
Written for the Screen and Directed by Sarah Adina Smith
Based on the book “Bright Burning Stars” by A.K. Small
Starring Diana Silvers, Kristine Froseth, Jacqueline Bisset
Kate Sanders is an ambitious and gifted, if tomboyish, aspiring ballerina from Virginia who, because of her low-income status, is given a scholarship to attend a prestigious ballet school in Paris, France. Upon arriving at the cutthroat, internationally-renowned institution, her confidence and emotional fortitude are tested by a beautiful, mysterious fellow dancer, Marine Durand, who recently lost her brother (and dance partner) to suicide. While confrontational at first, Kate and Marine’s relationship evolves into an emotionally-charged, competitive union beset by lies, sexual awakening and, ultimately, emotional breakthrough as they risk everything to win the school’s ultimate prize: a contract to join the Opéra national de Paris.
Birds of Paradise premieres on Amazon Prime Video on 24 September.
