From war to dance, a soldier finds new purpose.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, young, exiled dancers form the United Ukrainian Ballet Company in the Netherlands. They welcome a soldier into their midst who lost both his legs in the war. With new prosthetics, he collaborates with his fellow Ukrainians on an original piece of choreography, igniting the dancers to channel their guilt and transform their grief. His presence becomes a powerful symbol of those left behind. The film is a moving story of resilience, unity, and artistic resistance, where culture is preserved through dance, and the stage becomes the place where the front row and the front line converge.
