Short description: The hybrid feature film "One dances, the other doesn’t" accompanies between reality and fiction two young migrant women who are confronted with the topic of motherhood. Using autofiction and collectively developed dialogues, questions of reproductive justice as well as queer family models are explored.
Synopsis: Dancer Tirza is a few days away from an abortion when her best friend Dani suddenly suggests that they could have the child together with Dani’s partner Reta in a shared family. But that would be a clear decision against Tirza’s just starting dance career.
