Film still from "A Wolf Among the Swans" directed by Helena Varvaki & Marcos Schechtman (Brazil, 2025).

A Wolf Among the Swans is a biographical drama that follows the extraordinary journey of Thiago Soares, a boy from the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro who trades the rhythms of hip hop for the discipline of classical ballet.

Under the stern but transformative guidance of Cuban mentor Dino Carrera, Thiago confronts personal and artistic challenges that propel him from the streets of Brazil to international acclaim as the principal dancer of the Royal Ballet in London. Drawing from the rich, real‑life career of Soares—one of Brazil’s most celebrated dancers—the film explores themes of resilience, identity, and the power of art to transcend cultural and socioeconomic barriers.

A film in the 2026 edition of the Choreoscope, Barcelona Dance Film Festival.
