What if the Blue Fairy wasnt supposed to help Pinocchio Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight ... So begins the wish that changes everythingfor Geppetto, the Blue Fairy and a little puppet named Pinocchio. The Blue Fairy isnt supposed to grant wishes in the village of Pariva, but something about this one awakens some long-buried flicker within. Perhaps its the hope she senses beneath the old mans loneliness. Or maybe its the fact that long ago, before she was the Blue Fairy, she was a young woman named Chiara with a simple wish: to help others find happiness. Her sister, Ilaria, always teased her for this, for Ilaria had big dreams to leave their sleepy village and become a world-renowned opera singer. While Ilaria would have given anything to have a fairy grant her wish, Chiara didnt believe in the lore for which their village was famous. Forty years later, Chiara, now the Blue Fairy, defies the rules of magic to help an old friend. But shes discovered by the Scarlet Fairy, formerly Ilaria, who, amid a decades-long grudge, holds the transgression against her sister. They decide to settle things through a good old-fashioned bet, with Pinocchio and Geppettos fate hanging in the balance. Will the sisters find a way back to one another Or is this, like many matters of the heart, a gamble that comes with strings
