After eleven months on maternity leave, Giulia Tonelli, prima ballerina of the Zurich Opera House, returns to the stage. An unpleasant task – not only for her body, but also because of the conservative environment in which she finds herself. In a field where one is only allowed to live and breathe for art, Giulia is now torn between her role as a new mother of a son and her career choice and the sacrifices that come with it, or rather are expected. It is questionable whether this balancing act can succeed at all while at the same time maintaining her high artistic standards. (filmstarts.de)
