“A great movie! So hereu0026#39;s the storyline; a young, innocent ribbon dancer from the countryside moves developing, populated Ho Chi Minh City to pursue a career in dance. Here she is introduced to the busy city life of modern 21st Century Vietnam including its dance and pop youth culture. She befriends a young streetdancer part of a dance crew- Saigon Fresh which rivals dance crew- North Killers from Hanoi.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts an interesting movie, probably the first to portray break dancing from Vietnam and it has an appealing enough plot to keep you watching. Not only that, the youth-pop-dance scene most popular in American (NY) movies such as u0026quot;Step Upu0026quot;, etc. is portrayed with a lot of authenticity and skill. Itu0026#39;s a bit clique but who cares- the characters, plot, choreography is quite impressive!”
