Sol, a dancer and choreographer, is a pivotal figure in contemporary dance who, at 59, finds herself at a critical moment in her extraordinary career. With her crew, she’s preparing “The Lamb and Her Army”, an ambitious work that seems to mark the end of her career as a performer. With joints worn down after decades of physical demands, her doctor has surprising news…

During the rehearsals young dancers are perceived as both collaborators and rivals. Tensions unfold through choreographic battles that blend intimacy with confrontation. The audiovisual language elevates dance into a transdisciplinary, raw poetry that evokes the same sense of physicality on screen.

Far from a stage musical film, “Lamb” blurs the boundaries between reality, fiction, and dance, capturing the creative process while presenting the energetic, daring, vital style of Sol Picó, our protagonist. Moving beyond convention, her choreography embraces the organic, the visceral, and the provocative.

A film that allows us to experience the performance from within, it immerses us in the emotional conflicts of an artist confronting the vertigo of retirement. Could we dance forever?
