Frances is twenty-seven years old and wants to become a ballerina. After many unsuccessful attempts, she is still only a trainee in a dance company. The setting is New York City, where even dreams have a price tag and there isn’t much room left to make them come true. When Sophie, her best friend and flat mate, moves to a luxurious apartment in Tribeca, Frances finds herself without a home and is forced to face failures and false steps on her own. The only thing that encourages her to carry on is her joie de vivre and the lightheartedness with which she takes on the small dramas of daily life.

Declaration
film director
“Frances Ha captures my feelings about New York because the beauty and romance is also cut with the reality of the city today. Young people who don’t have money struggle there. You can’t be an artist in New York any more without being rich. This movie mourns and celebrates the city at the same time.”
