A charismatic young boy who lives on a rubbish dump in Zimbabwe must convince a reclusive boxing coach to teach him to fight in order to find safety and strength in a world that has left him behind.
It’s a lovely film, filled often with lovely dancers who adjust their dreams accordingly.

The pure joy of creation and artistry. It's sounds so corny when I say the words, but it's presented in such an understated way.

Breezy, charming love letter to the art form [dance], its tight-knit communities, and what nourishes the impulse to find healing expression in movement.

Where many directors have their best work behind them, Kaplisch is actually getting better with age and every subsequent film. This feel good dance movie, with a message may be his best movie yet, and most definitely his best looking.
