I came across this film by chance on the Dutch-language telvisie in a dubbed version and because of the dubbing I feel that a lot of details and o-puns have been lost.
When a film is made about dancing, in nine out of ten cases it is also about ballet. The great thing about this film is that the more negative sides, such as injuries from ballet, are put in the spotlight.
While most other films encourage children to participate in sports (often ballet), this one also warns about things that can go wrong. For example, a lot of attention has been paid to the injury of the main character and to the recovery process. They also try to make it clear that athletes often want to speed up their healing process or start exercising again too early, and this can have disastrous consequences for the rest of your life.
I just love how this film focuses on the issues of sports like ballet.
