This insightful film follows a year in the life of Isabela and Irlan, two aspiring ballet dancers who engage daily in a clash between two worlds: rich and poor, black and white. Steeped in the history of the wealthy white elite, many feel that the likes of Irlan Santos da Silva and Isabela Cracy, two black kids from poor backgrounds, do not belong. Despite the constant prejudice and doubt, both are determined to follow their ambitions.
