A deaf dancer, a blogger with mommy issues, and a street dancer named Pegasus walk into a competition...
Varya lost her hearing several years ago due to an accident. But, despite the tragedy, she continues to pursue her favorite hobby - dancing. Now her dream is to get to the most important dance competition in the country and, of course, win. Varya meets Nik, a famous dancer and blogger. A friendship develops between the guys, and they decide to compete at the competition together. But Nik's wealthy and influential mother does not accept her son's choice, which deprives the boys of important financial support. Varya and Nik will have to find adult solutions on their own to follow their dreams. Their "team" on this journey will be Varya's dad, Toshka, the girl's smart friend, and Pegasus, a charismatic street dancer. They are all united by faith in victory, hope that the impossible is possible and, of course, a love of dancing. It is she who pushes young dancers to answer the main question for them: "Can I dance better than myself?"
