I found the premise interesting in the local store and bought it. What a fantastically realised film. It says so much about human relationships in general and highlights the fact that there's no such thing as the perfect, socially acceptable relationship.
Society's idea of what is acceptable is challenged beautifully, particularly with the dance partners who find love and are forced apart by a concerned parent, although they are technically adults, only to find an ally in the main character and his friend showing them the technicalities of safe sex instead of turning them in to the authorities. The female dancer's resolute explanation that her partner was "my soul" touched me in a very powerful, unexpected way and I can't stop thinking about it.
The main protagonist was exceptional in his role and I hope to see him again in more films in the future. Same goes for the female lead.
I found myself crying a lot and quite emotionally awakened while watching this wonderful film. I was disappointed that the extra features didn't have English subtitles! Very highly recommended.
