Everyone assumes she was always like this. She wasn't.
Raised in the affluent northern province of Gillikin, young Galinda Upland is eleven years old when she first encounters real poverty, injustice, and the carefully maintained lies of the upper class. This six-episode miniseries tracks her adolescence from age 11 to 17, charting the small moral compromises that quietly shape her cheerful public persona — and the teachers, friends, and strangers who plant seeds of genuine empathy beneath the glitter. A portrait of how good people learn to be good, and how much easier it is to stay pretty.
