Levan Gelbakhiani dazzles as Merab, the star student at Georgia's national dance academy whose customary role as the leading male dancer is usurped by the arrival of a talented newcomer, Irakli (Bachi Valishvili). But feelings of rivalry soon become mutual attraction for the pair of young dancers navigating the institutionalized, rigidly conservative world of traditional Georgian dance. Georgian-Swedish filmmaker Levan Akin's drama overflows with finely observed social details and boasts outstanding performances from its talented young cast of actor/dancers.
