An hour before the five best Dutch dance crews fly to a contest in New York, the subsidized trip is cancelled. Five dancers from totally different crews don't want to give up their free plane ticket and go anyway. In New York they realize what they've done. They have no money, no plan and no crew. But... They came to dance so there is only one thing to do. Together they form a new crew and do everything they can to enter the contest they came for. In the mean time... they have to survive two weeks in New York without any cash. Written by Tijs van Marle

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Floris Bosveld was a real So You Think You Can Dance finalist; the cast is largely professional competition dancers.
This captures a specific 2010s moment when dance crew films peaked — think Step Up era — but Dutch cinema rarely touched street culture.
