One step away from the dream

Welcome back, movieholics! Here we go again with the true story of 15-year-old Joy Womack, the only American ballerina ever to be admitted into the elitist and competitive Moscow Bolshoi Ballet, with the ambitious aim of becoming its danseuse étoile.

Brimming with ideals and goodwill, her drive and dedication will be challenged in a stern and ruthless world that will exact a heavy toll of blood, tears, sweat and toil.

Will she be able to handle sabotage, bullying, physical pain? Will she make it to the top? See it for yourselves! “Joika”, on Thursday, 25 January at the Concordia Theatre: movie starts at 08:00 p.m., ticket’s five euro for Capriotti school.
