DANCING HEARTBEATS - Kölner Kino Nächte

In the organizer's words:

DANCING HEARTBEATS
D 2023 - 92' - DF. - Director: Lisa Wagner

Breakdancing/breaking was long part of a culture in which women tended to be accessories and were not allowed to be strong, self-confident and wild. Frieda, Jilou and Viola have worked hard to earn their place in the scene and are now among the most successful women in breakdancing. Jilou is a hot candidate for selection at this year's Olympic Games and Germany's medal hope. Frieda is a B-girl of the first hour, but she has to accept that she can no longer rely on her body as she gets older and finds a life after professional sport. Viola wants above all to be recognized as a dancer and combines breaking with contemporary dance. For her, every battle is also a fight for her artistic identity.

DANCING HEARTBEATS accompanies the three dancers on their journey around the world. Between international battles and tough training sessions, Jilou, Frieda and Viola are also paving the way for the next generation of young girls who want to prove themselves in the male-dominated world of breakdancing. An empowering and inspiring film about the courage to realize one's dreams.
