On a beach in the South of France, the young Ali spins over a high bar. This modern-day acrobat introduces us to another form of gymnastics, the one of the street. An undisciplined discipline. Freestyle is to gymnastics what Breakdance is to dance. A culture where the body becomes an object to express itself. It is a way for Ali to break away from established rules and feel free.
Through Ali’s portrait, director Julien Soulier wanted to show the emergence of a counter-culture but, above all, to film a youth that is moving against the flow. An escape through passion for the new generation.
