This docu is a great one. The story: How several schools in Berlin with pupils of low social status and dance students are brought to dance Le Sacre du Printemps with the Berlin Philharmonics under Sir Simon Rattle. The movie picks several students and follows them as the weeks progress. You learn about their characters and how they cope with this new situation. You also get to know the choreographer and of course the conductor Sir Simon Rattle. For example how the dynamic and energy flows from the orchestra through the conductor is the way Simon Rattle gets his high. The choreographer tells about his upbringing, how he came to love dancing. It is really a great documentary, funny and interesting.
