A ballet dancer's audition is thrown into disarray when she recognizes a past abuser on the judging panel, forcing her to confront her complicated history and use it to her advantage.
When a ballet dancer arrives at a prestigious audition that could define her career, she expects to battle nerves, perfectionism, and fierce competition—not the ghosts of her past. But as she steps into the spotlight, she locks eyes with one of the judges: a celebrated choreographer who once abused his power over her as a young student.
The encounter threatens to unravel her composure, dredging up trauma she’s long buried in favor of discipline and ambition. As the audition unfolds, Maria must choose between walking away or reclaiming control of her narrative. Drawing strength from her pain, she crafts a performance that’s not only technically brilliant but emotionally raw, challenging the industry’s silence and forcing the panel, and herself, to reckon with the truth.
