Description

For his new film, Cédric Klapisch (‘Back to Burgundy’) dives into the world of dance. Classical ballet and modern dance come together in a story of hope set between Brittany and Paris. When 26-year-old ballet dancer Élise (Marion Barbeau) discovers her boyfriend cheating on her and then sustains a career-ending injury, her seemingly perfect world comes crashing down. Now purposeless, she realises she must change her life. With the help of friends, she finds other work that takes her from Paris to Brittany where she meets a modern dance company. The new experiences and friendships rekindle the fire in her. Will she be able to dance again…? Lead actress Marion Barbeau is a prima ballerina with the famous ballet of the Paris Opera. In addition, Klapisch secured the collaboration of choreographer Hofesh Shechter and his company. The result will inspire and thrill in equal measure.
