Spanish language biographical drama which follows the life of Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta.
This energetic account of the life of the electrifying Cuban never shies away from the truth about his tough upbringing.
Crafted with passion, integrity and determination, much like Acosta himself.
At times the film’s two storytelling modes feel disjointed, but here the use of choreography seems fittingly abstract, a bodily interpretation of an emotional memory.
Yuli: this portrait of Carlos Acosta and Cuba is a dance film like no other.
