Ola is a 17-year-old girl with boyish moves, hair falling over her big blue eyes all the time, bitten nails, and arms covered in scars from self-mutilation. Because she has run away from an orphanage too many times, the court has placed her at a youth detention centre. She’s got no fancy clothes or expensive phone. Unlike the other girls, she refuses to provide any sexual services to the caretaker in exchange for cigarettes or small sums of money. The only thing she wants is to get her mother back. The girl is an ardent athlete. She believes that once she starts being successful at sports events, her mother will find her. But because she is so “separate” from the world, she becomes a victim of violence.

Score:
Katya is an outstanding ballet talent. She trains hard for auditions at the New York Ballet Academy and has a good chance of getting a scholarship. But when she meets a group of street dancers, a whole new world opens up to her; unlike classical ballet, urban dance is free and explosive, without rules. Katya's heart catches fire for the new style, where she can express all her emotions – and for the introverted Marlon, a gifted hip-hop dancer. He recognizes her dancing potential and asks her to participate in an audition with him for the world-famous street dance crew Sonic Tigers. Katya dives into a never before experienced attitude to a life of light-heartedness, community and spontaneity. She knows that she cannot go back to dancing ballet. But her father Victor, a famous ballet star, has a different opinion.
