Synopsis
Lara, adolescente belge introvertie de 15 ans, s'impose une discipline stricte pour devenir danseuse étoile. Avec l'appui de sa professeure de danse classique qui croit en elle, elle va au bout de ses possibilités physiques par un travail acharné, supportant avec stoïcisme les souffrances que lui infligent ses pieds meurtris. Jeune femme trans, assignée homme à sa naissance, elle prend la décision de s'hormoner et d'avoir recours à de la chirurgie, avec l'appui de son père bienveillant et compréhensif. Mais elle perd patience quand la thérapie hormonale s'avère trop lente. En outre, les moqueries de ses camarades de danse, qui veulent à tout prix la voir nue, et ses premiers émois amoureux teintés de honte et quelque peu chaotiques, rendent son parcours professionnel, les rapports humains et son équilibre mental très fragiles.Actors

Now she hasn't worked in over a year, and is desperate enough for work to even just be part of the chorus line and audition for him; whether he's willing to let professionalism overcome his personal feelings about their past remains to be seen.

We see the principal students auditioning alongside less successful applicants. In the drama department, Montgomery forgets his lines while auditioning, and Doris's nerves aren't helped by the presence of her pushy mother, who insists Doris should sing in her audition. In the music department, Bruno's father and uncle help haul Bruno's keyboards and equipment from their taxicabs to the audition. Bruno's electronics horrify the conservative music teacher, Mr. Shorofsky.
