Circle Dance

Tieaho Barbara

Dance is an infinite wellspring of joy, sorrow, and life’s richness. In "Circle Dance," 11-year-old Elina’s journey from childhood to adulthood is told through dance. The film's other main character is Anna, a woman who has already experienced life and who supports the young girl in her growing-up process. Reality and fantasy intertwine, enriching the tale of her growth and self-discovery.
