Jon Ander Santamariá and Marcia Castillo’s 2019 Spanish documentary follows a group of regular people who produce a ballet production with children with motor disabilities such as cerebral palsy.

When walking is hard, dancing is harder, but that gives it all the more meaning. This is probably some of the most beautiful dancing in the Film Festival and shows the possibilities that movement offers.

In Catalan, English and Spanish with English subtitles.

His future was to be the first Black Romeo, one of the greatest ballet dancers / choreographers / producers of his generation, and one who is bringing the dance back home to Cuba.
