Synopsis for "A Tilnoom Edalb"

In a fantastic realm, there was a princess who couldn't stop her shadow from crying. She asked the magicians of her kingdom to help and they separated the princess into two different people: a sister of light and a sister of shadow.

In the present, Zatanna and her crew prepare to work on her latest performance at the Terpsichore Theatre, in San Francisco. Zatanna wants this show to be special, which is why she chose a venue with such a long, celebrated history. During the rehearsals, one of Zatanna's fellow performers, Adam, has trouble during an act, so Zatanna explains to him about her usage of magic. Her power is based on personal belief and the user's ability to impose his/her personal reality into the actual reality. She thinks that Adam has a self-esteem problem and only needs a push in the right direction to succeed.

Suddenly, a series of spectral white hands emerge from the paintings decorating the walls and kidnap the workers, including Adam. Zatanna enters a painting to rescue them and encounters a towering image of the Lady White, one of the famous stars that worked at the Terpsichore, but has no time to indulge in questions, as her friends are imprisoned within self-contained realities that imitate movies starring the Lady White.

Jumping from movie to movie, Zatanna saves her friends. After saving Adam, she confronts Lady White and asks why did she suddenly attack them, but Adam suddenly pierces through her chest with a blade. Zatanna tries to remove the blade, but Lady White casts down a lightning bolt on her enemy while she and Adam escape.
