This documentary follows two young teenagers, Irlan and Isabela, as they strive to realize an extraordinary dream. Both are black and poor, living in one of the most violent favelas on the outskirts of Rio. Both Irlan and Isabela want to dance ballet, and their ambition is to leave Brazil to join one of the great companies in North America. For them, dance is the way out, an escape, and on stage, it brings them to a state of ecstasy that is rarely found in their day-to-day lives. The question is, can they make it? 78 minutes in Portuguese with English subtitles.
