A ballet dancer finds her true expression through rediscovering her passion for movement in the mountains.

Beautifully shot, and told in intimate first-person voice-over, Renaissance profiles a burned-out ballet dancer who rekindles her love of movement and dance when she discovers a new passion – climbing. The film makes expressive use of split screen to draw parallels between, but also to contrast, dance and climbing, and eloquently suggests the healing potential, physical and spiritual, of both sports and the arts.
