This film, directed by Jody Lee Lipes and Henry Joost, is based on a 1958 ballet set in New York City, and features a quartet of talented young dancers performing in various locations around the city. The dancers, played by Tiler Peck, Robbie Fairchild, Georgina Pazcoguin, and a few others, convey a raw and intense energy as they move across the screen.
