Short documentary
Just Jools
Jools’ dream is to become a dancer. With the help of her teacher, the twelve-year-old gradually discovers how to overcome her physical limitations, gain self-confidence, and find joy in movement.
“Doing a standing somersault is super cool,” says twelve-year-old Ela, who trains intensively every day to achieve her goal.
Ela has no one to give her a ride to gymnastics practice, since she lives in a children’s home with her two siblings. Instead of the gym, she practices the exercises she’s seen other gymnasts do on TV in her backyard. With the support of her caregivers, she gets the chance to attend a summer circus camp. Surrounded by new friends, and faced with the uncertainty of a new environment, she decides to overcome her fears, close her eyes, and take a leap of faith.
