A powerful documentary focusing on the life of Floeur Alder, the daughter of renowned ballet dancers Lucette Aldous and Alan Alder.

Pointe pulls back the curtain on elite ballet dancers as they push their bodies to extremes revealing the physical and emotional demands hidden behind classical ballet. The film balances rehearsal-room intimacy with performance spectacle, examining ambition, injury and endurance. Pointe offers a portrait of artistry forged under pressure and explores trauma, resilience and the transformative power of creativity.
