Moscow, early 90s. Polina, aged 8, is a gifted ballerina. From a modest background, she joins the prestigious school of Professor Bojinsky, who trains dancers for the Bolshoi. He immediately grasps her tremendous potential and makes her work so hard that, at just 18, her dream finally comes true and she joins the prestigious Bolshoi.
