Nina is an exceptionally talented ballerina in a New York City ballet company. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace prima ballerina Beth Macintyre for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But she has competition: new dancer Lily, who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her. | Originally produced as an American motion picture in 2010. | Performed by: Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder.
