Written by the director himself, the story revolves around a little 12-year-old black girl called Neneh. Born to dance, she dreams of gaining entry to the Paris Opera ballet school. Despite her enthusiasm, she will need to work twice as hard to escape her condition and gain acceptance from Marianne Bellage, the director of the establishment and an upholder of traditions, who hides a secret connecting her to the little ballerina…

Produced by Sidonie Dumas on behalf of Gaumont, Neneh Superstar is co-produced by France 2 Cinéma and has also been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+. Distribution in France and international sales are in the hands of Gaumont.
