A monologue film made for the 50th anniversary of the Japanese ballet studio Kimika Kimura Atelier de Ballet.

At the heart of the story is the school's founder and most senior teacher, who shares her many years of experience in raising young dancers.

The film reveals her philosophical approach to childhood and to children's innate urge to move and dance. The story of how the school came to be is told in the first person, weaving together archival footage and reflections on teaching ethics in classical choreography.
