Roi Wants to Dance
Synopsis
Ever since nine-year-old Roi can remember, he has wanted to be a ballet dancer, but is ashamed. He is afraid that the kids in his class will make fun of him and ostracize him. Nevertheless, he gets up the courage and sets out to make his dream come true. As it turns out, he is the only boy in a group of girls, which makes him even more determined to keep it a secret. Thus, he doesn't tell anyone, not even his best friend, Assaf. As time goes by, Roi’s secret weighs on him. Will he overcome his fear and let his secret be known?
