Based on the true story of Joy Womack (played by Talia Ryder), who is one of only a handful of foreigners—and only two American women—to ever penetrate Moscow’s infamously tough Bolshoi Ballet Academy. She graduated from its main training program and was offered a contract in 2014.
Through Joy’s brilliance, this is an inspirational journey into the most competitive, hostile dance school in the world. Spurred on by Volkova (a terrific Diane Kruger), the Bolshoi’s magnetic and masterful tutor, and the searing passions of first love, Joy’s leap into the unknown touches immortal perfection.
But at what price?
