Girl chokes another girl ballet

A woman adopts a girl who becomes a dancer.

Two ballerinas plan a gruesome attack on the ballet school that mistreated them.

Young girls attend ballet school and make debut performances

Ida, Olympe, Jeanne and Marie dance to the music of pianos, symphonies, contemporary pieces… in ballet school studios, in the streets, even in their bedrooms. They are between 6 and 11 years old. Very fond of each other, they film themselves, comparing and giving one another support. They also tend to annoy one another, are at times envious, even rejecting each other. What is it like for a little girl to grow up in a world of intense professional and competitive dancing? Closely following the emotions and dilemmas experienced by our young characters, this film explores and probes into a territory that we’ve all navigated, though many of us have forgotten: childhood.

A fourteen-year-old dancer meets a new choreographer whose strict and humiliating training triggers involuntary tics in her. The more she tries to suppress them, the less control she has over her own body. Through the indocile and dissonant bodies of young girls in the face of authority, this film aims to exhibit the subversive power embedded in feminine fragility.
