Checkpoint: Valid

Nora, Selma, and Arina, three young girls from a tight-knit, multicultural dance community in Oslo’s East End, travel to an audition that introduces them to an unfamiliar world. As they navigate the audition process, they encounter people whose backgrounds and experiences feel distant from their own, subtly revealing cultural divides. This experience challenges their confidence, their bonds, and their understanding of themselves.
