Many people dream of dancing in ballet. But few people manage to get on the big stage. And it is extremely rare for bulldogs to succeed. More precisely, the first and only one who was able to do this was Vzhikh, a bulldog whose childhood was spent in the theater, in the dressing room of the mouse Matilda, a corps de ballet dancer.
Maybe Vzhikh was just lucky? Maybe he knew how to dream and work? Or maybe this happened because he was lost as a puppy and was not afraid of difficulties since childhood?
And there are plenty of difficulties on the path to success - the passions behind the scenes are brutal! Vzhikh will meet enemies - the director of the minipig theater, Unlikely, the ballet star - the narcissistic lion Murrieva. He will meet his patron, the prima ballerina fox Lisetskaya, and his inspiration, the choreographer Monsieur Bravo, the gibbon. All of them, enemies and friends, will become teachers of Vzhikh. But he himself will become his main opponent and teacher. After all, the path from a dream to its fulfillment can only be walked on your own paws! And at the same time, find your purpose and a real home. An inspiring and warm story about a graceful bulldog who has made a dizzying career fills with optimism and gives hope. After all, even if the path from boxers to ballet soloists is real, then your dream can come true, you just have to gather your strength.
