Pointe Shoes For The Muffin
Natasha was a professional ballerina only a few years ago. Now she weighs 90 kilos and her husband calls her “Muffin” …a moniker that not only pokes fun at her weight but harkens to her love of the “Sergeich” brand muffins. One day, Natasha is given the opportunity to teach ballet to children. On her first day of teaching, she meets the owner of “Sergeich” muffins when he comes to collect his daughter from the class. Unexpectantly, she falls in love and eventually faces the dilemma of her long-time marriage and her weight.
