Film Overview

A film centered around world-class contemporary choreographer Paul Lightfoot (Artistic Director of the Netherlands Dance Theatre) who lost his father during the Covid-19 pandemic. Not permitted into the hospital to say goodbye, he began working remotely with a Danish dancer to create a performance that processes the emotions he and many have shared worldwide. The result is a look behind the curtain into how a modern master interprets loss into physical form—and a powerful beacon of hope to carry us through uncertain times.
