The Last Step

20250.0 / 109 min

Overview

In the vibrant yet challenging world of Manipuri dance, Dyna and Arangbi dream of making it big. Dyna comes from a supportive family that encourages her aspirations, while Arangbi’s widowed mother struggles to run a pan shop and faces societal ridicule over her daughter’s career. The two women work as background dancers in local music videos, pushing themselves to excel in an environment where they are often invisible and misunderstood. As an audition for a coveted lead dancer role approaches, cracks begin to form in their friendship. Dyna's privilege and Arangbi's mounting frustrations collide, exposing deep-seated fears, insecurities, and societal judgments that plague their lives. The aftermath of the audition leaves them questioning their dreams and the price of pursuing a passion in a world that refuses to accept them. The story culminates in an open-ended epilogue, forcing the audience to ponder: Do dreams fade, or do we give up on them too soon?
