Point d'équilibre

Extras

Details

Certains enfants choisissent de poursuivre un de leurs rêves au détriment de tous les autres. Ils ont 11 et 12 ans et entrent au programme professionnel de l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. Le film Point d’équilibre s’invite au coeur même de l’enfance, ce moment de la vie où les mots sont encore trop petits pour dire l’ampleur de ce qu’on ressent.
