Twelve-year-old Jools dreams of having the courage to dance with self-confidence. Everything changes for her when she meets Yorrith, a choreographer who had to teach himself to move again after a stroke. Yorrith recognizes Jools’s inner struggle and challenges her to push boundaries and embrace the impossible, without fearing the judgement of others. Just Jools is an inspiring story about finding your strength by discovering that there is no right or wrong in movement. A powerful portrait of a girl who no longer wants to be looked at, but truly seen.
