Just Jools

Twelve-year-old Jools dreams of dancing with self-confidence. With the help of a choreographer, she learns to shake off the gaze of others and dance freely.

For a long time, Jools has dreamed of dancing, but has been held back by a lack of confidence in her own body. Everything changes when she meets Yorrith, a choreographer who had to teach himself to move again after a stroke. Yorrith recognises Jools’s inner struggle and challenges her to push her boundaries and embrace what at first seems impossible. Together, they embark on an emotional and vulnerable journey of perseverance. He shows her the power of dancing in her own way — beyond the judgement of others. Gradually, she discovers that there is no right or wrong way to move. There is simply the joy of dancing.
