Yuli

Pedro (Santiago Alfonso) drags his young son Carlos, nicknamed Yuli, out of the streets of Havana and into the National Ballet School of Cuba, sure the boy has a gift worth forcing. Icíar Bollaín follows Carlos (Keyvin Martínez as the boy, Carlos Acosta as the man) as he runs from the classroom, plays the clown, and keeps getting pulled back to the dancing. It is a story about what a father's hard expectations hand down to a son, and what that gift costs to carry.
