‘It’s a Billy Elliot story with a South African twist’ - TORONTO STAR
When a young Siphe November leaves his small township in South Africa to follow his dreams at Canada's National Ballet School, he begins a remarkable journey that reveals deeply personal experiences of family, prejudice, expectation, loss, and resilience that beat beneath the surface of a beautiful and demanding art form. Blending memory, movement, and resilience, the film explores identity, trauma, and healing across generations.
