It is 1984 and, in a northern England mining town, a group of miners are
on strike. Eleven-year-old Billy Elliot, whose father and brother are on
strike, does not like the boxing lessons he is taking at school and
decides to join the girls' ballet class. Billy's talent is encouraged by the
ballet teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson, who manages to arrange an audition for
Billy to the Royal Ballet School. Now Billy must face his family. |
