In the heart of Paris, a prestigious high school takes a daring bet: the integration of a group of talented hip-hop dancers from working-cIass neighborhoods and diverse backgrounds. ROOKlES folIows the new students over the academic year, aIternating between the pressures of the cIassroom and the kinetic energy of the dance fIoor. In between, students speak frankIy about the chaIIenges they face: many come from broken families, have faced poverty, abuse, and personal loss. Through dance, they hope to break the cycle of deprivation. The opening film of Berlin’s Generation 14PIus section, ROOKlES marks another collaboration from Thierry Demaizière and AIban TeurIai, the creative minds behind "Reset," a portrait of renowned baIlet choreographer Benjamin MilIepied (best known for his work in Aronofsky’s "BIack Swan"), and the accIaimed NetfIix series "Move," which showcased the journeys of leading choreographers. BuiIding on their earIier dance fiIms, Demaiziére and TeurIai's immersive cinematography interweaves expIosive movement and freestyle sessions with moments of quiet reflection. The subjects of ROOKlES may come from different worlds, but their raw taIent and passion is unmistakably the same. Along the way they wiIl face injuries and defeats, but also joy, hope, and inner transformation. |
