A documentary that tackles a difficult subject in a deeply loving way, managing to make a particular issue feel universal.
The main character finds her strength in settling into herself and feeling the dance, rather than in the gaze and judgment of others. The film portrays this journey through authentic characters and a storyline that almost gives the documentary the feel bordering on a fictional drama.
The director's gentle eye ensures it remains personal without getting too private. The dance comes to life for the girl not just through the music, but in collaboration with the danceteacher, in nature, and through her imagination.
