Once We Are Dancing

The German town of Hoyerswerda is shrinking, people are leaving en masse. And those who’ve stayed are full of doubts whether there’s any point in waiting if the town recovers. Dancer Dirk, however, returns, and launches a project of “Urban Dances”. And so the people in the desperate situation dance against the backdrop of the decaying town which for a moment comes alive with Stravinsky’s music. A documentary film about overcoming agony through dance. (Finále Plzeň)
