It's 1990, and New York soloist April Manning is trying to rebalance her world in the aftermath of her parents' deaths. An offer to join the struggling West Coast Ballet Theatre as a principal dancer seems like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start-a new life in San Francisco, an exciting step up in her career, and the hope of a redefined sense of family. But the other dancers are wary, clannish and tight-lipped, particularly about an incident that hastened the departure of their beloved artistic director, leading to the arrival of his replacement, the young, inexperienced Anders Gunst. And no one wants to talk about Jana, a former company member who defiantly walked out rather than work under Anders. It is Jana herself who offers April hints, and even friendship, where she reveals a loneliness and hunger to belong that newly orphaned April well understands. But there is something troubling about Jana, and what April doesn't know could prove deadly. A prequel to the Ballet Theatre Chronicles, BALLET ORPHANS explores the work and sacrifices required to arrive at the highest tiers of the professional ballet world, coupled with the primal, universal desire to belong, to love and be loved, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we call family.
Dieser Film ist ein Psychogramm, wie es eindringlicher nicht sein kann. Die Geschichte eines Kindes, das durch widrige Umstände aus der Bahn geworfen wird. David, ein 11 Jahre alter Junge, erlebt den plötzlichen gewaltsamen Tod seiner Eltern und bleibt als Waise zurück. Seine Tante Martha kümmert sich zwar um ihn, kann ihm aber Liebe und Zuneigung nicht geben, da sie selbst ein sehr unerfülltes Dasein fristet. Ohne Freunde wächst David heran und zieht sich immer mehr in eine schreckliche Fantasiewelt zurück. Nach und nach stoßen ihn alle Erwachsenen, mit denen er Kontakt sucht, zurück. Davids Wahnvorstellungen gehen jetzt immer stärker in die Realität über und überwältigen ihn. Auf unvorstellbar schreckliche Weise rächt er sich an seiner Umwelt ... Der große Klassiker des Schock-Films!
