Leap! | August 30

Félicie (Elle Fanning) is a penniless orphan with one big, passionate dream: to become a dancer. With nothing left to lose, Félicie ‘borrows’ a spoiled brat's identity and enters the Opera Ballet School. But how long can she be someone else? Mentored by the tough and mysterious cleaner, Odette (Carly Rae Jepsen), Félicie learns that talent is not enough — it takes hard work to be better than her ruthless, conniving fellow students. That and friendship. Felicie's inventive, exhausting and charismatic best friend Victor (Nat Wolff) also has a dream: becoming a famous inventor. Together, they both encourage each other to reach for the stars.
