Alexis is a 15 year old talented and proud student of the National Ballet School of Cuba. However, when his parents decide to move to Florida, his happy teenage world is turned upside down. He’s forced to leave behind Cuba, his colleagues at school, his relatives and his beloved girlfriend. Facing rejection and homesick for his native Cuba, Alexis feels lost and alone. When he gets accepted in the prestigious Harid Ballet school, he has to start all over.
