Sophie

17-year-old Sophie's life was focused on two things: ballet and animals. A natural performer, Sophie dreamed of studying at the American Ballet. But high tuition fees and mounting costs at home force Sophie's parents to make a sacrifice, Unfortunately, without first discussing this issue with Sophie, they sell her beloved Sheba, a 5-ton elephant and lifelong friend, to a traveling circus. Abandoning her previous dance dreams, Sophie sets off to reclaim Sheba, charming her way into a summer job with the circus so she can keep an eye on Sheba. Sophie tries to convince the circus owner, Alistair Winston, to sell Sheba back to her. Recognizing the potential to make a fortune off her innate performing ability and special bond with She, Alistair coerces Sophie to be part of an act with Sheba, hoping to persuade her to join the show permanently. But Sophie knows Sheba doesn't belong at the circus. Sophie comes to understand that Sheba deserves to go back to her homeland where she can be free.
