Film Synopsis

Comfortably installed in their luxurious apartment in Paris, the Kampfs have everything that money can buy, except the most important thing: the recognition of French high society. To obtain this coveted prize, they prepare a grand ball for two hundred guests.  But not everyone in the Kampf household shares the enthusiasm for this grand social event.  14-year-old Antoinette is dismayed when her mother tells her she cannot attend the ball, so she takes her revenge by destroying all the invitation cards...
