The free Billy glides between classical and modern, only dance steps. , the world seems to have disappeared.
Everyone is a special talent waiting to come out, and the trick is to find it. At the end of the film, Billy Elliot took a leap on the stage and took off his dream, like a swan, flying above his gorgeous sky.
