The Art of Falling

What it’s about

Young dancer Dima meets a mysterious and strict mentor, Phil, who pushes him to move not only in dance but in life, urging him toward maturity and self-determination. Dima's girlfriend, dancer Yulia, is so unsure of herself that she is ready to betray her dreams for the sake of calm, but Phil saves her too. The mentor constantly surprises, provokes, and tests the boundaries of everyone around him. For the tough and uncompromising producer Renata, dance is a business on which she indifferently makes money. But one day her worldview collapses under the influence of the powerful energy of young dancer Anton. Thus dance penetrates their lives, forcing them to move in every sense of the word.
