Polina Page #2

We have tomorrow off.

Come with us.

I can't, I'm busy.

Come on!

You seeing Bojinski again?

Youre wasting

your only free night on that old fart?

He's doing a solo for me.

Isnt he too old-fashioned?

He's still more interesting

than Alexandrovna.

Youre coming to the Budan festival?

Of course.

Come on, meet us after your rehearsal.

I'll try.

Not bad French.

You impressed?

Yeah.

Thats not bad at all.

ls something wrong?

I feel like I'm stringing moves together

without dancing.

Thats fabulous!

A true artist

always longs for perfection.

Only time will tell...

if the path was right.

People say your ballets

were too provocative for the Soviets.

Yes, you could say that.

They reproached me

for not being patriotic enough.

I used music by American composers.

I was too stubborn.

No.

Thats why people respect you.

Shall I start from the beginning

and you'll show me the rest?

I have to go.

Youre not going to leave us like this?

Polina...

Look at me.

No one will ever harm you. Ever.

And you?

When do you start with the Bolshoi?

In June, if I pass the exam.

You will.

I have to get going. Goodbye.

When will you be back?

Polina Shanidze.

You may begin.

Are you going back to France?

Im coming with you.

What do you mean,

youre coming with me?

I want to pass the audition

with you in Aix-en...

Provence.

Why would you want to come to Aix?

You just made the Bolshoi.

Besides, you don't know the technique.

Who cares?

I want to perform what we just saw.

No.

It's a mistake.

Why?

Even if you're in Moscow and Im in Aix,

well be together.

I dont care,

even if you don't go to the audition,

I will.

You're crazy!

Are you leaving for long?

I dont know.

Maybe.

Youre going to France?

Yes, to the south of France.

What about the Bolshoi?

You know what it means for us.

Trust me.

It's beautiful here.

You like it?

Hello. Welcome to the audition.

Well start the first routine

with Sergio.

Spread out.

Good luck.

Four, five and go!

Get into position.

In lines, please.

Third line. One!

Jump!

And exit.

Sonia, Aurore, Claire, Kim,

Elise, Margot,

Polina, Anthony, Tha, Lisa,

Adrien, Emilie, Jrmie

and Chlo.

The others can leave. Thank you.

Now well work on

a different style of movement.

Use your breath.

Stretch, stretch...

That's it.

From the top.

Use your weight! Heavy!

If you like, I can translate for Polina.

I havent spoken yet.

Well, just in case. I can do it.

Thats why I asked you to come.

Youve surely heard,

I always give my dancers a trial period.

Youll start as trainees.

And if we get along, I hire you on.

I understood.

Polina took

a few French lessons in Russia

and weve been together
