John Clark is a lawyer who writes Wills. He has a humdrum existence but a loving family that he seems happy with. One day on his home from work, he spots a beautiful woman gazing out of the window of a dance school. On a whim he gets off at the stop, and decides to take dancing lessons.
What follows is a very sweet and heart-warming journey about following your heart and finding happiness wherever you can.
What I LOVED about this movie is that he doesn’t leave his wife or family for this woman. In fact, she actively discourages him from pursuing her. But John finds something fulfilling and something he’s good at.
And the scene where he’s coming up the stairs to his wife with the rose, one of the most romantic scenes ever! You can tell he’s crazy about her even after 20 years of marriage!
A lovely heart warming film about dance, life and love.
5 out of 5 stars.
