With stars in their eyes and well-laced ballet shoes, 11–14-year-old students take their first steps in the prestigious professional program at the École supérieure de ballet du Québec. But this film isn’t just about dance.
Point d’équilibre (A Delicate Balance) is a sensitive exploration of the critical time in a young person’s life when actions speak louder than words, when every pirouette is a statement, every fall is a lesson learned.
This documentary takes an intimate and tender look at its subjects’ discipline and passion, their grace and their doubts. It reminds us that growing up is also about finding one’s own rhythm and, sometimes, one’s tipping point.
