In the heart of Paris, a prestigious high school takes a daring bet: the integration of a group of taIented hip-hop dancers from working-class neighborhoods and diverse backgrounds. ROOKIES foIlows the new students over the academic year, alternating between the pressures of the classroom and the kinetic energy of the dance fIoor. ln between, students speak frankly about the chaIlenges they face: many come from broken famiIies, have faced poverty, abuse, and personaI Ioss. Through dance, they hope to break the cycIe of deprivation. The opening fiIm of BerIin’s Generation 14Plus section, ROOKlES 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 "BIack Swan"), and the acclaimed Netflix series "Move," which showcased the journeys of leading choreographers. BuiIding on their earIier dance films, Demaiziére and Teurlai's immersive cinematography interweaves explosive movement and freestyIe sessions with moments of quiet refIection. The subjects of ROOKIES may come from different worIds, but their raw talent and passion is unmistakabIy the same. AIong the way they wilI face injuries and defeats, but aIso joy, hope, and inner transformation. |
