 | Heartwarming British comedy-drama set in nothern England during the tumultuous miner's strike in the early 1980s. 11 year old Billy chances upon a ballet class after his weekly boxing lesson, quickly discovering a natural affinity for dancing. His teacher, struck by his surprising talent, suggests he apply to the Royal School Of Ballet. This all goes down less than well with Billy's macho miner father and older brother, who expect Billy to follow them into the mines. Billy must overcome his family's opposition and expectations as he follows his own dream. Truly a tale of authentic individualism! |
