Princess Grace of Monaco narrates this Oscar-nominated documentary on the famed Russian Kirov School, whose influential students--Diagalev, Nijinsky, Pavlova, Balanchine, Nureyev, Baryshnikov and many more--changed the world of ballet. Filmed before the fall of the Soviet Union, it follows the children through one school year—grueling auditions, their daily life of school, their friendships, pillow fights, piano lessons, rigorous dance classes, and rehearsals—in preparation for the final graduation performance. Separated from their families, many of them poor, they are immersed in the art of ballet and fully devoted to their dream of becoming dancers. 92 min.
