Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers.

For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
