Um tocante biopic, e ainda mais importante, exemplo de vida nos oferece o dançarino iraniano Afshin, que fez da dança, manifestação artística severamente proibida no seu país, a sua forma de se debater contra um regime opressor da liberdade, e com a sua forma de se expressar (cruzamento de várias influências que vão de Michael Jackson ao ballet e à contemporânea, entre outras) uma fonte de igual inspiração. O filme é dramáticamente pertinente, realização eficaz q.b. com vários bons momentos e confesso que cheguei a este filme (e a este importante testemunho) pela banda sonora de Benjamin Wallfischin (algumas composições são de escuta repetida, muito em especial a "Hand Dance"). Creio, na minha humilde opinião, que fará muito bem a descoberta deste caso verídico a todos aqueles que dançam e sobretudo vivem da dança. Rever-se neste caso é duro. Nem todos têm ao alcance as facilidades de aprender, praticar, de se mostrar ou até a mesma sorte da liberdade de expressão do seu talento... 7/10 Bom

The politically charged true story is a compelling one but this isn't reflected on screen. The dancing is the only element that contains real passion.
