I enjoyed this short TV special. To add to the information in the other comment: the name of the girl who played the younger sister is Samara Janzen. Red Shoes is about two girls named Meg and Carter who spend a week or two at their grandparents' house while their parents, who are having problems in their marriage, go on vacation. Meg is played by a girl named Andrea Cole, and Samara Janzen played Carter. The two girls ask their parents to buy them each something when they go. Carter, the younger sister, wants a dress and Meg wants a pair of red shoes (hence the film's title). Rather than the plot, it is the characters and their emotions and interactions that dominate the film.
