Winner of the Crystal Bear at Berlin, this riveting Korean film is set in the competitive world of a dance academy which becomes a refuge for a newly homeless student who secretly moves in.
In her moving directorial debut, Kim Hye-young tells the story of teenager In-young (Lee Re), who finds herself alone and homeless after the death of her mother. In the midst of her grief, she must also fight to keep her scholarship at a competitive dance academy. Tensions rise as the year's final performance gets closer and their perfectionist teacher Seol-ah (Jin Seo-yeon) demands impossibly high standards from all the girls. When Seol-ah discovers In-young squatting at the dance academy one night, things take a surprising turn for both women. A joyous dance finale is bound to send you home happy! Special Guest
