Lea and Daria
An artistic blend of a feel-good dance flick and an edge-of-your-seat historical drama.
Discover the powerful true story of two 13-year-old stage prodigies: Lea Deutsch—celebrated as the "Croatian Shirley Temple"—and her dazzling dancing partner, Daria Gasteiger. Together, they sell out majestic theatres and capture the hearts of critics across Europe. But as the catastrophic shadow of World War II looms, their dazzling world of applause collides with terrifying political realities. Navigating the horrors of Nazi persecution and the rising threat of totalitarianism, the two young rivals forge a dramatic, unforgettable friendship bound by the escape of dance, showmanship, and sheer survival.
