Emília

Emilia dreams of being the best ballerina in the world, but Emilia has never actually done anything to make it happen. Today she turns 25, starts working at the local gas station, which leads her to wonder if her life is only a smaller version of what she always dreamed of. That day Rosa, a girl with whom Emília compares her life on social networks, walks into the gas station and finds out that there is an audition at the contemporary dance company where Rosa works. From then on she struggles between going to the audition, where she might possibly be rejected, and the possibility of finally changing her life and finding in dance the meaning she seeks so much.
