Teen flick: girl loses brother in a car accident, which makes her father even more protective than he was before, which was very rigid. So her aunt(?) RD arranges for her to come to California to attend the summer arts program. She struggles, partially because she's still grieving, and partially because her skills aren't formally developed like most others. But she pulls it together at the competition which her parents attend (there to retrieve her), although she doesn't win.
Whatever.
