Once her devout hasidic husband has left for the day, Esther sneaks off to join a female breakdance crew rehearsing on a secret rooftop in New York’s racially charged neighborhood of Crown Heights. Led by the charismatic Dream, Esther is mesmerized by the troupe, but she is more viscerally drawn to the moves of an uninvited dancer.
