This documentary is on the creation and development of the Barcelona Ballet (formally Corella Ballet). In the words of Angel Corella:
“I am excited at the prospect of having a permant record of the company’s first steps…I know the documentary will help audiences to better understand the historical situation and difficulties faced by classical ballet dancers in Spain…I look forward with great anticipation to seeing the final product!”
