Nina is a girl totally dedicated to dance, oppressed by a former dancer who the mother accused of having had to abandon his career because of him and now wants to revive through her ambitions. Nina is perfect for the part of the dreamy white swan, but must be able to immerse themselves in the role of the black swan sedecente and fatal, not to miss his big chance.

The despair of seeing Lily blow to the party dreamed of a life will bring it to transform into the Black Swan and to fight against itself, white swan for excellence.
The film alternates scenes of daily life in the dance world, made of exercises, evidence, pointe shoes to dream scenes and disturbing, which contrasts with the figure always dressed in white and ethereal Nina the darker and sensual Lily, and hover around the immortal music of Swan Lake that Nina's cell phone as a ringtone . A psychological thriller that makes us think about how the professional ambitions could negatively impact on the human soul, in any field, not just an artistic one.
