Inside Mali’s head, everything is dancing. She’s a “breaking girl” – also called a bgirl – who tries to make her way from battle to battle. At only 14, she moved to the big city, to stay with her older sister. She now lives close to her new school, where she majors in dance. But can this insecure teenager handle all the other dancing styles? And will her body cope with the physical strain? A beautiful film that exposes the reality of dance studies and girls in breaking.
