Under the watchful eye of director Alberto Antonelli (MALCOLM McDOWELL), they and the rest of the various dancers - including veteran performer Harriet (BARBARA ROBERTSON) --go through rigorous, day to day preparations for various upcoming performances. At the same time, Ry starts seeing Josh (JAMES FRANCO), a local chef, and the two soon become lovers.
With a big and expensive performance just around the corner, Ry tries to balance her personal, familial and professional lives, all while the other dancers hope to make the grade.
Other sexually related dialogue is present, as is off-camera sex (in one scene a young woman asks a roommate if he has a condom for her use with another man). Some scantily clad people of both sexes are seen (in underwear and tight-fitting dance costumes) as are some bare breasts in nonsexual situations. A realistic-looking dildo is briefly seen at a bachelorette party.
Some characters drink and/or smoke, a few drug references are made, while some tense family material and thematic issues (talk of suicide, a reference to AIDS, etc.) are also present. Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, some of occurs during the film's last ballet performance.
