Synopsis
A ballroom dancing competition in a retirement community is the setting for this moving portrait of individuals dancing against all odds. The participants are way past retirement age- but that doesn’t stop them from dancing and singing, from falling in love or experiencing disappointment. The participants hardly know one another outside the club walls, but the complexity of their lives is gradually revealed to us. The magical atmosphere of the club and the ballroom dancing gives them the strength to overcome the wear and tear of time, health problems and difficult memories. They become princes and princesses for whom anything is still possible.
