Petite Ballerine

Directing: Matej Duzel,  Renata Šimić,  Ivan Granić

Synopsis

A story about love for ballet by three different generations: a girl at the end of ballet high school and at a crossroad of her life, where she decides whether to devote her whole life to ballet (Leda Separovic, 16); a ballerina at the end of her career, who turns to educational work (Michael Devald, 44); and a ballet dancer who has spent his life dancing and making choreographies, becoming one of the legends in the Croatian and world dancing scene (Milko Šparemblek, 86). These three characters round out the story of love and desire for ballet throughout life, the passion, sacrifice, ambition, education and everything that a person goes through because of a desire to be a top dancer. In order to succeed, our petite ballerine must first shine on the international competition of ballet dancers Mia Corak Slavic, for which she has been preparing for months.
