STORYLINE
Katya Orlow grows up in a famous ballet family. She has every chance of following in the footsteps of her late mother and her father Victor, who is still celebrated as a brilliant dancer. She is training very hard to apply to the prestigious New York Ballet Academy. But then an accident happens: Victor injures himself so badly on stage that he has to end his career. Back from hospital, Katya is now his only hope of carrying on the family tradition. He therefore concentrates completely on his daughter‘s audition. Meanwhile, Katya has met a group of street dancers and is fascinated by their acrobatic moves. From now on, she rehearses the leading part for the ballet „Sleeping Beauty“ in the mornings and in the afternoon she dances together with the gifted hip-hop dancer Marlon. But when Marlon has the wish that they could perform with the famous „Sonic Tigers“, Katya finds herself in a huge conflict.
