All language subtitles for Neneh Superstar 2022

Father!

- Hello.
- Hello. Nina Sahire.

Thanks.

- Hello.
- For the entrance exam.

Neneh-Fanta Gnaoré, twelve years old.

Rue des Linandes Pourpres 55,
Building C, Staircase A, La Courneuve.

Staircase B, 2nd floor, door C.

- Hello.
- Well then, my darling. Here.

- Good afternoon, girls.
- Good day.

There are two changes this time.

First: You dance a free variation.
You are alone on stage.

A repeater
there won't be this time.

Second: The jury is made up
from the entire teaching staff.

Enjoy the new faces
don't be unsettled.

Becomes Madame Belage
also sit on the jury?

Yes, in the last round
the director is there.

Now to the examination room.

Take your certificate
and the information form.

Do you all have the weight and height?
your parents noted?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Okay, follow me.

My name is Julia Dobinier. I'm twelve.

I dance at the CRR in Paris
and visit the Collège Octave Gréard.

My name is Olivia,
I'm twelve and have been dancing since I was four.

My name is Salome Laurent
and have been twelve since February.

I skipped a grade in school.

I live in Caen in Normandy
and in the 16th arrondissement.

I've been dancing since I was two and a half.

So for ten years.

I did last year
took part in the "Nijinski competition",

where I took second place.

My name is Romane L'Archer and I'm twelve.

I live in the 8th arrondissement
and have been dancing since I was two and a half.

In Italy I took
took part in many competitions.

We lived there until last year.

My name is Iris Clishe.

I go to a school
in the 5th arrondissement.

I dance every afternoon.

I take Saturdays and Sundays
Private lessons with Muriel Hascolovitch.

At the international competition
I took 1st place in the CND.

My name is Neneh-Fanta Gnaoré
and I'm twelve.

Can I dance now?

- Let's get to know you first.
- Sure, what do you want to know?

Where did you take dance lessons?

I started in the 4th grade
in an extracurricular group.

But that wasn't so cool.

Afterwards I had courses in Les Coteaux.
The place is not very popular with us.

But the courses are great.
I also did hip-hop there.

How did you prepare for this?

How should I say ...

I watch dance videos
viewed by Marianne Belage.

I know almost all the choreos by heart,
from "La Bayadère", "Swan Lake".

I have almost every step down.

As inspiration for free variation.

Can we please start again?

Yes?

Are you waiting for me to start?
I wasn't ready yet.

She has grace! If she keeps growing like this,
that is very promising.

- Alexandre?
- I agree.

Luna is there.

Now to Neneh-Fanta Gnaoré.

There is nothing for me to discuss.

She is very talented,
but not suitable for this school.

Although there is no ideal physique,

but it's about being in the Corps
to create an aesthetic unity.

I think,
it would be a stroke of luck for us.

IM not sure.

We already have it
Magalie from Mauritius as a quadrille.

But the quadrilles
are the last of the last.

We don't want to train a replacement bank,
but prima ballerinas.

Plus she's 23.
Some of you were already at the top.

Neneh's skin color is much darker
than that of the Mauritian woman.

But their proportions are perfect!

I care about
how she fits into the group.

Let's face it
in eight years in the Corps.

Would be her skin color
then isn't it a distraction?

The swans from “Swan Lake” are white
like all roles in our repertoire.

It's tradition. Our task is,
To protect and pass on values.

Can we do that with her?

Stop it. Our task is not
To block the way for talent.

Should we open our house to everyone?

No, we should just
choose the best.

The black morphotype carries the risk of
that the body falls apart.

Breasts and hips
could be too curvy.

Remember Fatoumata.
We had to fire her.

We already had black people in the company.

Idrissa Bentou,
Jean-Rose Martin, Baptiste Bhénoussi.

These guys were trained here
and later accepted into the company.

They were never soloists
and ended their engagement prematurely.

A total loss.
Besides, it's different with boys.

We have a Chinese, a Korean,

a Ukrainian,
a Finnish and Italian.

We have already opened up.

This year we only have seven places.

If we take a girl like Neneh,

do we fail girls like Victoire or
Morgane a place in our ranks.

And her profile fits much better.

This school
only has Victoires and Morganes.

Your opinion is only advisory.

You are the opera director,
but I run the dance school.

That's why I and my colleagues decide
who is admitted.

Yes, but I think that little Neneh
must be included.

Put them first.

I got accepted!

This is too cool! Really too cool!

I can't handle it! That's great!

Count me in! Thank you thank you!

Thanks!

Why did you allow me?
Did you think I couldn't do it?

How are you?

I just didn't say no.
But you didn't tell me something.

That this is the best school in the world?

No, that it is a boarding school.

That you are leaving your school
and dances eight hours a day.

True.

But do you believe
that from me at the Paris Opera

becomes an uneducated loser?

- Certainly not!
- Listen.

I don't know anyone at this school
was. I have no trust.

I should screw up my life like you.
You are jealous.

Envious, envious, envious!

Father! Father!

- Open up!
- Let me sleep.

- Mom hit me.
- Your bad luck.

Red alert! I'm getting beaten up!

- What have you done?
- Nothing! It was her!

Just because I was accepted.

Please let me sleep
and go to your room.

Thanks.

You'll sleep there,
eat and wash yourself?

- Don't you know what a boarding school is?
- Sure, but that's intense.

I come home on the weekends.

But that is not enough.

Plus, you fly
definitely from this school soon anyway.

It's a school
from princesses for princesses.

You didn't understand anything.
Dancing is in my blood.

- Clear.
- Only that counts.

Yes.

But I won't visit you at the opera.

Maybe in a youth center
or in the zoo, but in the opera?

- What's wrong with you?
- I'm not going in there.

You don't fit into the opera at all.

I invite you.

I'll give you free tickets.
You will see.

How is it actually going?
since Samuel gave you 46 baskets?

That's really a lot.

There is only dancing and diet.
When it comes to boys, I detox.

When it comes to baskets!

- And the diet...
- You can see that.

- Totally.
- We see your diet.

Great!

It's all ok?

- Yes.
- Shall we have a coffee?

- I only have five minutes left.
- Good.

- Have you thought about this with Neneh?
- Yes, I don't understand you.

Dancer is not a profession!

- What will she live on?
- Being a professional dancer is not a profession?

Name me a black ballet dancer.

Then you tell me
a white ballet dancer.

- There are many.
- You don't know any.

Do not worry.
She'll be fine there.

There are lessons in the morning,
in the afternoon she dances,

In the evenings she has tutoring:
What do you suggest better?

And it doesn't bother you, it just bothers her
to see on the weekend?

Dance school and boarding school are combined.
This is an opportunity for them.

How long do you dance for?
Until 35 or 40? What is she doing then?

She'll find something.
Look at Deschamps and Zidane!

I have to go.

- Did you never want to be a prima ballerina?
- I did judo.

- You can trust your daughter.
- Trust her...

- All right.
- See you then.

See you then.

Come down.
We only buy what is on the list.

Do you understand, Neneh?

Try this on. Hurry up.

- Does it fit?
- Yes.

The new collection fits perfectly
your daughter's skin tone.

Of pastel pink
to bronze to black.

What does this mean? You can
Don't dress how you want?

The lady knows her stuff.

What does she know about?
better looking than me?

The white can do the silhouette
disturb a black dancer,

but today there are solutions.

But I don't have a problem at all.

We get a discount
about the opera dance school.

When you've untangled your hair,
you take the gel.

It is very good.

You apply a lot of it at the roots,

to tame all the fine hairs.

You spread it everywhere. And then ...

When are you finally starting?

I'll explain it first. Listen up,
because soon you'll be on your own.

Then you take this brush.

You want to know something about this guy?
He's definitely not serious.

You pull them tight,
take a hair band and pin it in place.

Then you have the most beautiful bun in the world.

Will you make it for me now?

I'll do it, don't worry.

First let's detangle your hair, shall we?

Okay great. Let's go.

- He let her come.
- No! Did you see it?

He has on the Charles de Gaulle
waiting for her.

Incredible.

So.

Then I attach the hairpiece.

He doesn't even notice
that you are wearing new underwear.

And throws it directly
after undressing on the floor.

Not so loud.

My name is Victor Max
and teach classical ballet.

It's our tradition, that is
irrefutable. But our training...

He was born in the 1990s
named master dancer.

Our parents weren't born then.

... a technically complete one
and demanding training.

I'm Alexandre Boucher
and also teach classical ballet.

The woman next to him
is Jeanne-Marie Mersault.

Your YouTube videos are black and white.

What?

Wait a minute. This is Marianne Belage.

I am the director.

You will be judged throughout the year.

Anyone who doesn't reach the level has to leave.

You need perseverance
Health and luck.

What matters to me is the Knicks.
He reminds us of our origins.

Bowing shows respect
towards the teachers.

It serves primarily to
to make you aware

that you are proud
to be here at the opera.

- Did you manage a bun?
- Full.

What is your goal?

My goal is,
To become a prima ballerina like you.

But that is still a long way away.

Otherwise I would like to
learn everything and listen carefully.

You know,
that you weren't my favorite?

No, I didn't know that.

Good night.

I haven't found Nutella anywhere.

Fat, hazelnuts, sugar, palm oil.
We're at dance, not rugby.

Are you serious?
I have endless Nutella breads.

And can you see that?

Raisins won't make you thinner.

That is predisposition. Don't believe everything
what you see on TV.

We are all equally thin,
otherwise we wouldn't be here.

So you don't have a better body
than the rest of us.

But be careful what you eat.
At some point you'll pay the price for it.

Expand movement on the ground!

Think about the pool!

Leads the feet
with the heel first outwards

and with your toes back.

The hand!

Novels! You have to lose three kilos.
I won't correct you beforehand.

That's stupid.

We stop.
Let's continue with the jumps.

You sway back and forth!

And then you want to balance it out again.

But that's not how it works.

Jump!

One two three,
four, five, six, seven.

Go Go!

And don't moan.
We are not track and field athletes.

You can't show
that it is difficult.

Dancing has to look easy.
That's the difficult thing.

Go Go go.

Exactly. Together!

That's weak.

Stop, we'll stop.

You can go change.
I can't do anything with lazy people.

I think it's great how you drive us.

Also your trash talking.
Like an American.

You have to learn our rules:
Respect for the teachers.

I respect you completely! I know you.

No first names! No confidentialities!
To do this you do ten push-ups.

Real? Like in the army?

This is the first sanction.
Do you want more?

I do them.

Come on.

More quickly.

After a year
you have perfect posture.

Then at least it achieved something.

He is too strict and explains poorly.

I'm not making any progress with him.
How he talks to me!

I could cry.

Girls, the professor is annoyed
because you don't work.

You have to pull yourself together
and you can't give up.

The guy danced with Nureyev.
Have respect!

And you, Luna, give everything you have.

I do that.

Who do you think You Are,
that you teach us?

We are a group.
We live and die together.

Do not be offended.

High again.

Very good.

Relevé and balancing.

The arms to the crown.

We push ourselves into the ground,
raised his head to the sky.

And from the beginning. Demi-plié.

We begin
with the preparation of the school performance.

This is very important.

Those who are chosen
represent our facility.

That's why we only take the best.

We're still wavering
between Snow White and Cinderella.

For the role
I need the most suitable interpreter.

I collect.

Pas de valse to the right and left.

Assemblé, soutenu to the right.

Preparation of the couronne,
Dégage, Seconde.

Two pirouettes, finish in the fourth.

- Who wants to start?
- I.

This is the fifth?

Start again
and prepare your fifth.

You're unfocused.
Once again. Back.

Pay attention. Exactly. From the beginning.

It has to flow
not position by position.

Smooth, that's a pas de valse.

- Again.
- From the beginning?

- Everything?
- Yes.

Pay attention to your En dehors.

If you are unsure,
you start again.

The view!

One, two... Spin again!

Turn! Turn!

Turn. Do the pirouettes. Come on.

Turn. Turn.

I want two pirouettes. Can you do that?

That won't work. Go to the back. Novels!

Exactly.

One, two... Exactly. Thanks, novels.

That's good.
Flowing and harmonious. Turn ...

- Super precise. Your fifths are perfect.
- Yes.

Olympe, now you.

I like her jumps.

That was great.

Now Luna.

Her upper body is great.

- There's nothing to laugh about!
- Falls happen.

Sorry, Luna. Did you hurt yourself?

No, everything is OK.

- Secure?
- Yes.

Be careful not to hurt yourself.

You danced well, but Snow White
can't be black.

Fritze fisherman fishes fresh fish ...

Fischer's Fritze freshens up...

Moment. Fischer's Fritze is fishing...

... fresh fish.

- Take.
- Thanks.

Fischer's Fritze...

...fishes fresh fish.

Fischer's Fritze freshens fish.

- That wasn't true!
- No.

Fresh fish freshens fish.

Between two ...

Between two plum branches
two sit...

Why am I the only one not getting fries?

But you wanted to go to the opera.
Aren't you happy?

You have to be strict now
pay attention to your diet.

- But mom!
- Not “but mom.”

I have chicken nuggets for you
for the proteins.

And for fiber there is lettuce.
It's really good.

Protein is good for dancing.
Especially in the form of nuggets.

Eat, my darling.

In the freezer
There's ice cream for you, okay?

- Okay.
- For me too?

- Sure, why?
- Well... No fries, but ice cream?

- Is that compatible with the opera?
- If you don't want to, I'll eat it.

I'm just saying.

- I have a huge fry.
- Me too.

- Look at her.
- This isn't for you.

- Dude, you scared me!
- Don't talk like that.

- You scared me.
- There is no reason for that.

What are you doing here so late?

I have cravings like many athletes.

And above all, like those with a sweet tooth.

That is normal,
I'm in the middle of growth.

But this doesn't help. Do you want?

Gladly. Thanks.

- Father?
- What?

I have to register for the Saturday course
Register with Madame Henri.

It's on Rue Bonaparte in Paris.

Everyone in my class goes there.

This is a prerequisite
to maintain the level.

- I'm the only one not going.
- I do not believe you.

Then don't believe me
but I'm almost the only one.

Do you really need private lessons?
You're already exhausted.

Besides, this is for rivets.

Private lessons are not for dull people.

If I don't do that,
I was completely rusty on Monday.

- Then I can't dance.
- You come home on Friday.

On Saturday we take the car.

We're driving on the highway,
looking for a parking space, waiting for you

and then all the way back.

The purest drudgery.

That is too complicated.

How much does the course cost?
with the crazy old woman?

She's not old at all
and not crazy either.

She was a prima ballerina.

It costs 100 euros an hour.

It must have a bang.

Is not so bad.

All right.

Go to sleep.

Why do we give you singing lessons?

- To control breathing.
- Yes. Why still?

- To improve rhythm.
- Yes. Why still?

When you sing you massage your insides
of the body. You're doing something good for yourself.

Yes, but not only.

The voice
is the most personal instrument.

When you sing you have to come out of yourself
and give in to your feelings.

That's why singing is important.

There is more to life than just dancing.
Comes!

Stop! And now gesture!

No, that's boring.

Loosen up even more!

Your eyes must be alive!

A lively look!

Spread your arms apart.

Danger. One centimeter
too much chest circumference, but that's still okay.

That's perfect.

The thighs are borderline:
43 centimeters.

- Can you please measure again?
- As you wish.

- Still 43.
- And if you tighten it?

My tape measure never lies.
You only have an extra centimeter.

- Everything is still good.
- They're just muscles.

Your muscle tends to
rather to get fatter and not longer.

- What can I do?
- Nothing, it's because of your morphology.

- What are you doing?
- I should make my hips supple.

- Who said that?
- All.

- Who is "everyone"?
-Boucher.

Of course, Boucher.
Hurry up or you'll be late.

Your lower legs.
Bring your lower legs back.

Relax.
You're tense, I can feel it.

Exactly. Controlled.

Very good.

Julia, that's fine.

Breathe. Now you, Luna.

Iris.

Breathe, Iris. Otherwise you will block.

Novels, you're doing well.

Olympe, keep your head straight.

We'll stop there.

Is it good for me too?

I would like to
put your bun on.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

Go ahead.

Why not? I do not understand that.

How come? If I say no, that means no.

I borrow
not even your panties.

- Don't be so tense.
- I'm not.

Stop it! What's that about?

Stop it! Stop!

Give it back to me!

Still don't want to say anything?

What happens in the locker room
stays in the locker room.

If you keep causing problems,
you won't stay with us long.

You can go now.

You grew up in Gennevilliers.
In a high-rise development like me.

We both come from the suburbs.

But you don't notice it.

You can go now.

One and two and three and four

and five, six, seven.

Plié, turn to the left,

to the right and from the front.

Come on.

Lift more. One two three four ...

Raise! One two three four.

Don't move your shoulders
clean your stomach. One two three ...

Cloche. Five, six...
Close in the fifth.

Gradually. Pretty pretty!

Yes!

Now en croix,
like I told you. Seven...

- Goodbye, Neneh.
- Goodbye.

Thank you, Dad.

Now you can rest. Sleep.

Good! Did you clean upstairs too?

That's enough.

Thanks darling.

- Your breasts...
- What about my breasts?

Hopefully will
my grenades never that big.

Grenades? How nice.

And your thighs.
I'm not exactly genetically blessed.

But that's not your fault.
It's just Africa.

Would you rather be white?

If I could ...

My breasts are not
guilty of your warning.

- What do you think?
- The registered letter I received.

I'm already traumatized enough.

- But I want to understand it.
- There's nothing to understand.

I'm freaking out, this is happening.
Now I have myself under control.

Besides, that was on Monday.
Today is Saturday.

- A freak out would do you good too.
- I'm sorry, what?

Nothing.

NO SUPERHEROES WITHOUT SUPER EQUIPMENT.
KISS, DAD.

Bravo!

Do you come here often?

On special occasions.

If you agree,

I'll arrange a meeting for you
with journalist Emmanuelle Braque.

It could highlight your work
and portray you.

That's not necessary.

Everything is about the training
on the website. And my portrait...

Everything about me is on the internet.

There are even videos
by me as a quadrille. So why?

- You know it exactly.
- I don't know.

Nobody really knows you.

That's why I'm talking about the portrait.

Why shouldn't we show
that opera is ahead of its time?

It is time,
that you own your success.

I know this journalist.
She works seriously.

You have to give this interview.

We do Adagio at the barre.

With Développé
and Grand rond de jambe en l'air.

Développé devant,
then with the right and seconde.

Raccourci plié and Rond de jambe seconde.
Then backwards, yes?

Let's go.

Imagine yourself at the Développés,
where the toe should point.

Before you perform the movement,

you visualize them.

Get used to it
to sketch them out in your mind.

Luna, if it pulls too much,
it's not that bad.

Then reduce the movement.
You can suffer all your life.

Grows!

Further.

Nice amplitude.

Julia ... Very nice, novels.

Back.

Very good.

Thanks.

Turn around, Neneh. Exactly.

Put your left leg in my hand.

I have to use the other leg
can usually do anything.

Open the left side. Hip ...

En dehors.

The En dehors allows it even more
than the flexibility to grow larger.

It really is
a question of morphology.

- Thanks.
- It was a pleasure for me.

Luna, I give you some advice:
Stretch in bed like a cat.

- It works.
-Neneh.

I understood. We continue.

That is disgusting.

Okay, come on.

- That's not possible!
- Everything okay?

Neneh has a violence problem.

She's behaved like this before.

She has problems
with our rules and our culture.

We don't know anything like that about her.

- She is not allowed to practice vigilante justice.
- That's correct.

There were problems at her old school
maybe solve it this way.

When teachers are overloaded or
are poorly trained, this happens.

This is unacceptable here.

But still, it's her last year of school
went very well. Her behaviour ...

She has it with us
such behavior was not learned.

What are you trying to say?
That we raised them badly?

Neneh is clearly having difficulty
to integrate with us.

What do you think?

I don't know.
I feel very comfortable here.

But you don't have many friends.

Wait a minute, madame.

There is competition here.
This makes friendships difficult.

It is worse
than at a football school.

Thousands of girls
would like to be in Neneh's place.

If this gets too much for her...

How can we help her?

Maybe a normal school
take into consideration.

For next year.

They were happy with the old school.
Maybe that's the solution.

I beg you, I don't want to go.
I want to stay here.

I won't talk about "victims",

but she knows that we, for example
don't go on vacation like others.

If she messes up,
we will read her the Levites.

You have our support.

We make it clear to Neneh
that their gift obliges them.

- Trust us.
- Exactly.

The class conference is next week.

Then we have to decide on a punishment.

If she is fair,
we stand behind you.

- I hope you don't doubt us.
- No.

We don't doubt anything.

Neneh's behavior
depends on your trust in us.

What is wrong with you?
Is this how we raised you?

- Is this how we raised you?
- No.

Luckily there were no reports.

I knew it wasn't for us.

Racists are everywhere.
You can't react like that.

You're just ruining everything.

You were tired of it anyway:
the traffic jams, the tutoring...

What are you talking about?
Are you not allowed to complain anymore?

I am happy,
that you attend this school.

You get yourself under control.
Can I trust you?

Yes.

We have to punish them severely.
Without strict discipline we are amateurs.

It doesn't integrate.
Does she even have any friends?

I knew right away that it wouldn't work.

She is very good.

Some girls are jealous of her,
this is nothing new.

The students compare each other.
Constant competition.

For dancers it's not about
to make friends.

Problems are also their pride
and their sense of superiority.

It is also our job
to look after them.

She is very serious,
motivated and passionate.

She doesn't shy away from resistance
and is making great progress.

She has developed really well
and makes an effort.

Naturally. She works hard.

The physio made a difference.
Your thighs are getting better.

The muscle fibers lengthen.

She has to work harder than others.
At some point it will take revenge.

What do you know?

And Luna?
What she did was disgusting.

Her parents know about the reprimand.
We're talking about Neneh now.

Marianne, you can help her.

- She adores you.
- We are here to help everyone.

Unfortunately it is not the task
our school to understand them.

Stop doing that!
“Our school” belongs to no one.

- She has to leave before the end of the year.
- You're so bitter.

We also reprimand her.

Along with the previous warning
their chances of staying are at risk.

Your goal is to kick them out?

I thought,
you want to shape the company of tomorrow.

My contact lens slipped.

- Yes?
- Is it okay?

No, you have to take me to the eye doctor.
She's stuck.

There it is.

Open your eyes.

Look up.

To the left and to the right.

Perfect.

I'll write you a prescription,
and then you can go.

You have dedicated your life to dance.

It's a calling.
More than that: a deity.

Is it even possible,
to have a private life?

I have that, but it's private.

- Do you like it?
- It's enough for me.

- Do you have children?
- No.

Would it be possible,
to open this school to all children?

Regardless of their social background?

There was a study
about my students' first names.

According to her, these names came from
not from a disadvantaged background.

This is grossly simplified.

From the scholarship applications,
that I receive emerges,

that some families
get in trouble.

Yes, but I have me
concerned with the numbers.

85% of fathers have a manager
position, only 1% are workers.

Children of managers and
Intellectuals are overrepresented.

It has nothing to do with it.

We need parents who share our values
share and support us.

Whether you are a doctor or a cashier,
does not matter.

- Your support counts.
- And what about diversity?

Could be better.

Your origin
opposed the Corps de Ballet.

Nevertheless, you became a prima ballerina and
have a great influence on the opera today.

What's your point?

You've done it,
Customize your North African appearance.

In a time that is much less
was more tolerant than today.

You changed your name very young.

Myriam Bel Hadj became Marianne Belage.

How did you experience this duality?
between what you were,

and what you portrayed on stage?

We stop. Goodbye.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A PRIMA BALLERINA

FROM MYRIAM BEL HADJ TO MARIANNE BELAGE

That's great!
You could have told me.

My wife is from Oujda
on the Algerian border.

The topic of our meeting is
the selection of ballet for the little ones.

You could have said it.

It's public.
Let's devote ourselves to something else.

This will not only bring us good things.

Marianne or Myriam: What's the problem?
Everyone has to make concessions.

I think of Snow White
for the little ones.

- Or Nutcracker?
- No.

What happens in Act 3?
Yellow Chinese people doing acrobatics.

Then the drunk Russians
and at the end Arabs eating couscous.

- What do you suggest?
- "La Sylphide."

If we explain to them
what the role is really like.

What is she really like?
A subjugated woman, an object.

It is only apparent submission.

We have to explain
that she doesn't submit internally.

So Snow White.

I'm late.

At the upcoming performance
will there be a main role,

four supporting roles
and two understudies.

Neneh, the cast
is not yet completely certain,

but with this ballet
you'll just be the understudy.

This is totally unfair.

- Chill out.
- I am calm.

But I'm the best in this group.

That's why I would
deserve the role of Snow White.

Your behavior is inappropriate.

A dancer
must learn to deal with frustration.

What kind of frustration do you mean?
That's just unfair.

- Leave the studio.
- Not until I have a role.

- Go.
- No.

- Go!
- I want to be Snow White.

- Why are you touching me?
- Go.

- Stop it.
- Go.

- No!
- Go!

Do not touch me!

You are scum, Bel Hadj!
Something like that is forbidden by law!

What are you doing
to the disciplinary committee?

I don't know.

Neneh.

Eat, my darling.

Come dance and don't sulk.

Come on!

Come on.

Forgiveness.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Neneh misbehaved
and reacted inappropriately when she found out

that she at the performance
is understudy at the end of the year.

Unfortunately, there is also this
the attack on a classmate.

I admit,
having made a big mistake,

by not making myself stronger
spoke out against Neneh's admission.

The universities,
the most respected authorities

and the most influential companies
must guarantee diversity.

But that is not the task of the opera.

We are not the New York City Ballet.

We are the guarantor
for the tradition of white ballet.

I like to hear that.

We have heard your arguments,

but we can your behavior
Don't ignore Neneh.

The slap or the slap in the face.

No, the disciplinary committee
must decide on the punishment,

which Neneh-Fanta Gnaoré gets.

How many times did I see as a student

that teacher slaps,
as you said, distributed.

- It didn't hurt.
- Luckily things are different today.

- There is a risk of exclusion.
- I think that would be the best solution.

Speak, we are listening to you.

I'm sorry,
how I behaved.

It's been on my mind ever since
like a stone in the stomach.

I also have a guilty conscience
towards my parents.

That's probably the minimum.

I'm sure her parents
have taken measures.

Neneh has to stay at school.

I'm against it.
We didn't consult.

- What are you afraid of?
- There could be a relapse.

We talk about her,
like she was a criminal.

We could too
question ourselves.

We are not a Montessori school.

The discussion is over.
Neneh has to stay here.

And Marianne,
It's best to take a few days vacation.

- Are you firing me?
- No, but you need rest.

The conversation is over. Thank you.

Thanks, we're going.

She's a bitch, isn't she?

- I think so.
- Me too.

Don't talk like that, she's in the hospital.

But she doesn't even agree
that she is an Arab.

She doesn't respect her parents.

She doesn't respect anyone.

- She's a total bitch.
- You are mean.

We also stand by it,
that we are black.

Because we have no other choice.
Why are you criticizing them?

I would have done it the same way.

I'm really shocked by what you're saying.

You don't know what it's like anywhere else
for blacks or Arabs.

It's tough outside of our area.

Stop. Are you kidding me?

We've been practicing this for three weeks.
Should I take you by the hand?

You can't do it! We practice something different.

Grands sauts and grands jetés,
but simplified.

I can do it right.

- Forgiveness.
- Nice for you.

Dancing is practiced individually in a group.
Either you're in or you're not.

Watch the others, it will be good for you.

This will be your place for a week,
so that I can have peace and quiet.

We continue,
hopefully without interruption.

Tombé, glissade,
Pas de bourré, Grand jeté développé,

Piqué, Arabesque ouverte,
Fouetté quatrième and petite course.

I wish too
an accent with the head.

You do the passé fouetté and
an accent with the head and arms.

Nothing with your shoulders.
The leg provides all the support.

Be careful when landing. The heels
are in front, not a three-quarter position.

I am aware that I
take someone else's place.

Sorry for disturbing you.

Don't tell my mother that I
I'm gone, she would be worried.

I've already worried her enough.

Now that I'm gone,

can Mademoiselle toppings,
who is still a badass teacher,

work here again.

I don't know what to tell you.

What do I have to say?

Neneh and I always have each other
understood excellently.

I was mean to her. I regret that.

OPERA BOSS: SENT A PHOTO

- Good evening.
- your ID.

I have to report this to social services.

Do your job,
I do mine. There.

Get up, let's go.

Fast.

Get in the car.

I'm tired of being black.
Why am I not white like everyone else?

You're not tired of being black.

You're tired of it
how black people are seen in France.

I want to be white and not dance anymore.
I don't go to the opera anymore.

You're going on Monday, okay?

No.
A child's word probably doesn't count.

That is my life!

- Pure.
- I want my old life back.

Your place is at this school.
If you doubt, you will achieve nothing.

I do not feel like it anymore.

You have to face suffering with courage.

Be brave, my girl.

I really don't want any more.

We carry on with...girls!

Thanks.

The mouse eats the cat.

This is the active.

The mouse eats the large animal.
Now the other way around.

Yes!

Neneh, the director is waiting for you.

Come on.

I can not do this.

It's too hard for me.

I was like you.

Than me at your age
came to the ballet school,

I didn't like it there.

I didn't know the vocabulary
and not the rules either.

I felt alienated and suffered.

But my body was made for dancing.

I danced like a warrior,
without any joy.

Someday
my teacher Claude Bessy came to me.

She said, "I got you
chosen because of your weaknesses."

And from there it became dancing
for me to breathe.

- I'm ready.
- Let's go.
