Their dream: to become a “danseur Étoile” one day. Today, those students we followed in the series, are now approaching their 25^th birthday and will enter the prime of their careers.

Ten years ago, the Paris Ballet Opera School began filming the series Budding Stars. Five years ago, a second season focuses on the future of these young dancers.

The third opus continues the story of a group of dancers who grew up together since dance school, singular and representative enough for each spectator to find themselves in the questionings and emotions they go through.

Dancers who embody an aspiration that animates all of us throughout our existence : to give meaning to our lives.
