http://www.vanajathefilm.com/Vanaja is fourteen years old and lives in Southern India. One day a palm reader, observing the lines of her hand, predicts that she will one day be a great dancer. Vanaja is the daughter of a fisherman and knows poverty very well. To learn the traditional art of the Kuchipudi dance, she chooses to seek the services of the dancer Rama Devi, who is retired. At the beginning it is tough. Through stubbornness, tenacity, and passion, in just a few months she learns all the secrets of this marvelous art, but the arrival of her teacher’s son from the United States changes her life forever…Vanaja has a strong sense of dignity; she is proud and courageous. Despite being very young, she fights against the prejudices of her society. She is able to face courageous and definitive choices…
