Description:
In County Durham, England, during the tumultuous period of the 1984 miners' strike, a class war is raging between the police and the working-class citizens. Amidst this backdrop of social unrest stands young Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old boy caught in the crossfire. Leaving his boxing club by chance, he discovers a ballet class and surprisingly finds his natural talent for dance. Encouraged by his dedicated teacher Mrs. Wilkinson, Billy embarks on a journey of self-discovery as he prepares for an audition at the prestigious Royal Ballet School in London. As he navigates the challenges of his troubled hometown and deals with the expectations placed upon him by his family, Billy learns to embrace his true passion and transcend societal barriers.
