The Stone Girl Synopsis
A group of friends are walking in a forgotten area of the town. In the middle of the bushes and unfinished constructions they find an old statue! A homeless old man tells them the story of the statue. Many years ago, a girl who loved to dance was turned into a statue for a terrible witch. The witch kept the streets in silence; she hated every movement and every sound! Then the friends decide to help the Statue, the Witch took away the girl’s ability to move, perhaps relearn the movement will help her recovering her thoughts! There is no movement more fascinating, more able to impress then dance that the girl loved so much! The group of friends has to give dance lessons to the Statue! Everyone strive a lot! The Statue moves, gradually recovers and finally joins her friends dancing. She is back being a girl!
