About Born to Dance
Together with her best friend Milena, the ambitious dancer Anna works hard to realize her dream of a successful dance career. When the chance arose to get one of the coveted places in the corps de ballet, Anna was immediately hooked and trained day and night. The only opposition to her plan comes from her father, who wants to protect her from the immense pressure. His worries do not seem unfounded: Anna's path to the top turns out to be steep and rocky - and gradually leads to a nightmare.
Directed by Hans-Günther Bücking, Born to Dance leans on a strong ensemble — Julie Engelbrecht, Christoph M. Ohrt, Patricia Aulitzky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2011.
