As young dancers, they were best friends and fierce rivals. Deedee (Shirley Maclaine) left the stage for marriage and motherhood, while Emma (Anne Bancroft) would become an international ballet icon. But when Deedee's teenage daughter is invited to join Emma's dance company and begins an affair with a young Russian star (Mikhail Baryshnikov), the two women are forced to confront the choices they've made, the resentments they've hidden and the emotional truths they must face at THE TURNING POINT.
