They have to deal with pressure from parents and teachers as well as facing challenges in their first international ballet competitions in France and Sweden. To secure their career, succeeding in the audition for the Norwegian Ballet Academy, is of most importance. Out of the blue, Lukas is invited to the final audition at the Royal Ballet School in London. This is his opportunity of a lifetime. During the course of four years we see the boys become young men, and friends separate.
