A feverish dream of a film, and a memorable tribute to the power of music to shake things up.

You don’t need to know anything about reggaeton - in fact, you don’t even need to know how to dance - to feel your body itch to twirl and shake to Pablo Larrain’s outstanding film, a portrait of a young woman dancing her way into adulthood with rambunctious and contagious energy.
