This 26-minute documentary examines the relationships that exist in a group of physically disabled and able-bodied people as they rehearse together during several months. Differences are not "tolerated" but confronted and used to create a dance show in which everyone finds his or her place. Humour, warmth and perseverance are on the bill, demonstrating the possibility of exchange without trivialisation.
