Synopsis:
The Eiffel Tower’s Daughter is a story about love, compassion, family and life. A girl who has to face it all with no one to help her. She runs away from home the day after her divorced Mother unknowingly marries a spy. Swanilde has to deal with rivalry and vengeance on her way to warn her father and ask for help. Swanilde thinks she’s on a quest for truth, but her family reveals all of the secrets and lies they have been hiding from her for years. As Swanilde’s world crumbles under her, she realizes how precious life is and how short it is. She tries to deal with all of the obstacles in her way to find who she really is-until disaster strikes and she’s running again.
