“The Turgot is not a country club,” the school's principle warns, welcoming the newcomers, “here, we don't give in, and we don't give up.” In the middle of Paris, young people are trained to become professional dancers and, at the same time, they are prepared for their A levels. That's the deal. The training motivates, strengthens and allows the students to surpass themselves, including overcoming setbacks. Everyone brings his or her own story: complex family relationships, problems in the social environment and in school. Through dance, the students learn to translate their experiences into physical energy. The intimately immersive camera interweaves explosive movement with moments of reflection. There are injuries and deficits, but also hopes, dreams and inner transformations.
