Score:
InfoSix months after surviving the car accident that killed her parents, Cleo is only just beginning to feel like herself again. The 17-year-old — who now lives with her grandmother along with her 7-year-old brother Bruno — is ready to revisit her favorite haunt, Club 7, for drinking and dancing with friends. For the first time, she seems to find an escape from her sorrow. So when a mysterious loner named Leos rescues her from a bar fight, Cleo doesn’t tell him about her parents. She merely mentions that she hates cars when he reveals he is an auto mechanic. Although Leos is over ten years older than Cleo, the two become friends, and, perhaps naively, Cleo hopes the relationship will become romantic. But the brooding Leos, who curiously doesn’t carry a cell phone, is dealing with his own troubled past.

Germany, 2020, 101 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema, 5
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.
