Le Prix

Romina, Julien, Abril and Darrion are fulfilling a common dream this year: to compete in the prestigious Prix de Lausanne. Their selection is the result of hard work and sacrifice.

They all know that self-sacrifice is the hallmark of a dancer's career. And yet, at just 16 years old, they have come from all over the world, driven by unwavering passion and belief.

They know that they are just a stone's throw away from holding the key to a place at one of the world's most prestigious dance schools.

But the stakes are high: in dance, there are many hopefuls but few who are chosen. And the Prix de Lausanne is undeniably an exceptional springboard.

This feature-length documentary by Alain Wirth and Nuria Manzur goes behind the scenes and into the archives of this prestigious ballet competition, steeped in 50 years of history.
