A warm and intimate documentary where four legendary and charismatic characters of Finnish dance share their thoughts about dance as an art form, profession and social interaction. The documentary follows the creation process of a dance performance, by choreographer Iles, where the established contemporary dance artists are positioned as performers in a piece exploring social and ballroom dance vocabulary. Alongside the artistic process these prominent dance artists sit down for candid conversations about the fundamentals of dance, how dancing has carried on for decades and their relations to social dancing. Through their reminiscences and vivid performances one is able to read into the history of Finnish dance culture and the rapid change of society in recent decades.
