Based on Carlos Acosta biography, this movie manages to nicely tell its path from a black and poor cuban to the acclaimed principal dancer he became.
Center-part is of course Yuli, but we do follow its family through time and that has a nice touch to it (eventhough i do regret one of her sister evolution is not better explained).
We of course have ballet scenes but they are well integrated in the story and it is not required to be a connoisseur.
One of the main forces of this movie is that it treats the topic between talent, work and happiness, and that brings this biopic to another level.
