Synopsis
Through the specificity of certain gestures and movements, we find five different athletes training. What seemed to be only a simple workout routine becomes a ballet in which all athletes are transformed into notes of a musical score of a symphonic movement where the notes fit together and where the rhythmic repetition punctuate their movements and accord at a dance.
