A moving coming-of-age story, as much about dance as it is about racism and identity, full of joyful energy like a good Gene Kelly movie!

Germany, April 1957. Uli has a dream: to become a famous Broadway dancer! But as a modern dance student at the prestigious Folkwang school, Uli's energetic and outgoing personality stand in sharp contrast to the melancholy of postwar Europe. On a trip to Berlin he meets Anthony, a young American dancer. Their attraction is immediate. Anthony convinces Uli to come to New York and try his luck on Broadway. The young men part ways, but Uli packs his bags and embarks on an adventure that will take him to a new world overflowing with life, color, and movement ‒ but also disappointment, harsh realities, and a good dose of heartbreak.
