Seventeen-year-old Violet (Elle Fanning) almost always walks around her small town wearing headphones, drowning out her mundane life with pop songs and dreams of becoming a singer. As the daughter of Polish immigrants, including a strict and religious mother, Violet often feels isolated and outcasted by her peers. But when she enters a local singing competition, Violet’s shy exterior melts away, and she becomes a real star as soon as she steps onstage. With the help of Vlad, an ex-opera star and unlikely mentor, Violet may just become the new face of young talent in the UK. As each round of the competition gets more and more competitive, Violet must find her authenticity and let it shine through her performances. In TEEN SPIRIT, Elle Fanning is all grown up and has an incredible voice to show for it. An inspiring story set to an upbeat soundtrack, TEEN SPIRIT will have you dancing in your seat.
