Spoilers ahead
The film follows Tobi, a middle-aged ex-dancer who now teaches ballet at the Juilliard School in New York City. It features a quiet, emotionally charged performance landscape and rests on a tense, morally complex set of conversations that unravel a family’s past. The film features performances by Carla Gugino, Matthew Lillard, and Patrick Stewart.
During a staged interview organized by the couple Mike and Lisa, who claim Lisa is researching a dissertation on the dance community of the 1960s, the mood starts formal and soon grows intimate and invasive. The questions become increasingly personal as Mike presses for uncomfortable truths about lineage and belonging, and the session edges toward something more explosive than an academic inquiry.
