Two sisters in a tender and trusting relationship share a dream: to become solo ballerinas. Nastia, 13, and Polina, 7, are studying at the Boris Eifman Dance Academy in Russia. They practice intensively for six hours every weekday. Only a few brilliant students at the academy go on to become solo dancers. Nastia and Polina realise this, but facing the challenge together, they find the confidence to overcome their fears.
