ln the heart of Paris, a prestigious high schooI 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 frankly about the chaIlenges they face: many come from broken families, have faced poverty, abuse, and personaI loss. Through dance, they hope to break the cycle of deprivation. The opening film of Berlin’s Generation 14PIus section, ROOKIES marks another collaboration from Thierry Demaizière and AIban TeurIai, the creative minds behind "Reset," a portrait of renowned baIlet choreographer Benjamin MiIIepied (best known for his work in Aronofsky’s "Black Swan"), and the acclaimed Netflix series "Move," which showcased the journeys of Ieading choreographers. Building on their earlier dance films, Demaiziére and TeurIai's immersive cinematography interweaves explosive movement and freestyIe sessions with moments of quiet reflection. The subjects of ROOKIES may come from different worIds, but their raw talent and passion is unmistakably the same. AIong the way they wilI face injuries and defeats, but aIso joy, hope, and inner transformation. |
