Документальный фильм "Балет, пот и слёзы" расскажет о детях, проходящих обучение в знаменитой Академии русского балета имени А. Я. Вагановой в Санкт-Петербурге.
The painful journey from young hopeful to prima ballerina.
Every mother bringing her child to the Academy believes she will be an accomplished ballet dancer. You've raised your child and gone through all the trouble to hand her over, but at best she's going to dance at the back row of Corps de Ballet. Mothers wince when they hear that. Ballerinas are very graceful when they step, but that makes them very miserable because of the pain they suffer from. Sacrifices have to be made. Training is a very stressful experience. Exams and rehearsals are a never ending process. Evaluations are stressful as well. The child is nervous because she doesn't know if her performance is good enough to be accepted. If she is turned down her self-esteem suffers. You have to be very strong mentally and physically to face up to the challenge. If you are turned down, you don't need to give up on everything. There are many up and coming dancers in the theater. Everybody is given the opportunity to dance, but sometimes some of them have plenty of work.
Director: Alexander Avilov.
Cast: Timur Askerov, Lyudmila Kovaleva, Evgenia Savkina, Oksana Skorik, Diana Vishneva.
