"A tender and warm film that expertly depicts the great heights of ecstasy and the dark depths of first love and desire set in a place we have rarely seen on film. Masterful direction and surprising first performances from the lead actors take you on a journey into the stiff competition of the traditional Georgian dance world and into the lives of the beautiful dancers who inhabit it. Against the abrasive backdrop of a conservative society, this gorgeously lensed film explores themes of fragile masculinity and sexuality in a way that is refreshing, organic and powerful."
