Compelling film that takes the viewer on a journey full of movement, emotions and unexpected confrontations.

This is not just another film about dance, but an in-depth look at the dynamics between people when they are torn apart from their familiar world. A group of dancers gets stuck in an accident after a performance in the mountains. What should have been a routine journey back home turns into an intense night in which the dancers are confronted not only with nature, but also with each other. The enclosed spaces and isolation bring hidden feelings, fears and desires to the surface.

Directors Afef Ben Mahmoud and Khalil Benkirane intertwine the physical expression of dance with psychological and emotional tensions. With choreography by internationally renowned choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the film takes on a unique physicality in which movement becomes a language in itself. Every gesture, step and touch reveals more than words can express. The camera moves smoothly with the dancers, blurring the line between fiction and reality.

Morocco has had a thriving film industry in recent years with stories that go beyond traditional themes. Backstage is an example of how Moroccan cinema is evolving and experimenting with new forms of storytelling. The film is both a visual and emotional experience, focusing on the power of movement.
