Here is the plot description for “Black Swan”:
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life – like all those in her profession – is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), who exerts a suffocating control over her.
When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production (“Swan Lake”) of their new season, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well.
“Swan Lake” requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan (with innocence and grace) as well as the Black Swan (who represents guile and sensuality). While Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly, Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side, which is a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

white swan or black swan?
I believe there is a white swan and a black swan in all of us.

There is only a white one.
Black or White?
I like people to think that I’m a white swan, that’s what’s socially acceptable. But, their is definitely some suppressed black swan in me. I’m slowly learning that it’s okay to show some of both. It’s what makes us human. Nobody is 100% black or white.

There’s a bit of both in everyone.
I’m white, black
I’m white, black and grey.
