This film explores one of the hottest categories of the Dutch ballroom scene. While preparing to walk at the Circus ball in Amsterdam, four dancers reflect on their journey within ballroom culture, and their relation to a category that is more than just seduction, sensuality, and sexual empowerment. Their stories will show what it means to be authentic and why these safe spaces are absolutely necessary in the world we live in today.

Richie trades the warmth of his friends' company for the thrilling promise of an online encounter, but once in the apartment of the Bodybuilder the initial promise turns into awkward but vulnerable conversation, which eventually gives way to an unusual ritual- one that is physical, intimate, and strangely liberating at the same time. But is Richie interpreting the tension between them correctly, or will he return to square one adrift in his phone screen? A strangely awkward, funny and tender look at the miscommunication and connection all within the liminal space of online dating.
