Heaven, Hell... Earth

Running time: 95 mins

It doesn?t matter why you start doing something. What matters is that you put your soul and heart into it.

Clara is a promising young ballerina whose world is simultaneously poised for success and precarious with imminent disasters. While the possibility of becoming a prima donna for a famous Spanish choreographer lies just ahead, a series of setbacks both emotional and physical ? not to mention an unexpected love affair ? throws her life into turmoil and her future into question.

It?s an old but evergreen story of growth and of finding oneself, told here with exceptional grace, warmth, intelligence and delicacy. Director Laura Siváková?s sure hand at the helm and some stirring performances combine to give classic tropes new life.
