I Don't Wanna Dance

Flynn von Kleist / NL, 2021 / 90 min.

Joey (15) has to decide whether to step out of the destructive dance with his mother or stick with her at the cost of his own happiness. A true story, told and performed by Yfendo van Praag, the boy who experienced it in real life.

Tonight, Eye’s youth community MovieZone presents this screening of I Don't Wanna Dance. Having lived for two years with their aunt, fifteen-year-old Joey (Yfendo van Praag) and his younger brother are delighted to be returned to their mother (Romana Vrede). At first all is well: the house is clean, the fridge full, Daphne has work and Joey settles in at a dance group. It promises to be a great summer.
