When big sister Asha found out her mother was pregnant, she wasn't sure how this extra person was going to fit into their lives. But in a matter of seconds of Priya being born the two would find themselves engaging in a bond that could only be imagined. Asha is a beautiful Indian dancer and as Priya waits to be able to dance as well as her big sister the two grow closer and closer. Often thinking of each other as best friends and sisters. But it is when Priya starts high school that she starts seeing the world through a whole new lens of admiration. She wanted to be more like the other girls in her school, free to date, free to wear whatever she likes, and free to try to be popular. As Asha watches her little sister seemingly slip through the cracks she tries to intervene- tries to save her but Priya is determined to get on the cheer team, skip classes and date Jake. It is when things do not go the way she planned that Priya begins to question, if I can't be myself then why am I here? What is my purpose? Not realizing that at her age it's okay to not know the answer.


She reflects on all of the ways she has disrespected her parents by the things she's done and all she truly wants now is to stand hand in hand with her sister and just¿ dance. Unfortunately, the time that Asha thought she would have to rebuild her sister is cut short and by the end she stands dancing alone with only the memory of her sister dancing with her. A beautiful presence lost before she truly had the opportunity to discover who she was.
