Synopsys: People emigrate in search of a better world, to escape wars or persecution, economic or climatic crises, but the driving force behind this choice can also be the dream of realising an artistic vocation. Yet, in the news and in the analysis of the migration phenomenon, there is little talk of “cultural migrants”: men and women who have the courage to rebel against strong social, political and religious conditions.
The documentary tells the stories of young non-European people who share passion for dance, despite their precarious economic conditions and, for some, even illegality. The road to Europe starts from their participation to auditions, which allow aspiring dancers from different parts of the world to study in the best European academies. Will they be able to cope with all the cultural challenges this path entails?
