Clair-de-Lune is the daughter of a celebrated ballerina named La Lune, who died on stage when her daughter was only a baby. Now Clair-de-Lune and her strict grandmother live at the top of a very strange building, close to starvation, kept going mainly by the charity of the dance company that hopes the girl may someday follow in her mother's footsteps. Clair-de-Lune does lessons at home, attends a dance class where all other girls are jealous of her talent, and struggles to live up to her grandmother's exacting standards...but she does not speak. She has never uttered a word.

Before she reaches the end of that journey, Clair-de-Lune is tested by tragedy and crisis. Heartbreaking secrets about her history are revealed. A dream, or vision, that may leave you chuckling through your tears, turns the tale toward its sweet and hopeful ending.
