It is the summer of 1963: John F. Kennedy's assassination has not yet taken place, youth culture is not even in its infancy. The USA is in a state of innocence. However, this has an overwhelming effect on 17-year-old Frances Houseman. Frances, known to everyone as 'Baby', plans to study economics and become a peace activist. For the moment, however, she is 'trapped' with her family in a wellness resort where she is bored and sitting out her vacation. However, her situation takes a turn for the better when she falls for dance teacher and philanderer Johnnie Castle.
When Johnnie's partner is prevented from dancing, Baby gets her big chance. Because: Johnnie always dances the last dance of the season at the graduation party and needs a partner. However, Baby's dubious dancing skills are in need of improvement. During intensive training, not only does Baby's skill grow, but Johnnie's feelings are also less and less able to resist her naïve and defiant charm.
But both their budding love and the planned performance are not under a good star. Baby's father doesn't like the former at all. As for the planned performance, it clearly consists of too much dirty dancing for Johnnie's boss to be able to hold his own at the sophisticated farewell evening. Will the two of them manage to dance against all odds? Will Baby giggle at Johnnie's first touches or, as so often, mess up the final leap?
