Margarita wanders through North Tyrol at dusk, observing the lives of others through windows – a game of imitation and longing.

Margarita wanders through North Tyrol at dusk, observing the lives of others through windows – a game of imitation and longing.


In a moving cinematic experience that captures the rhythm of the body and the emotional depth of human encounters, the power of dance as an expression of a lived art of living is impressively staged. The film takes the viewer into a world where not only precise choreographies, but also unspoken feelings and silent longings are interwoven – an intense dialogue between body and mind that inspires reflection on liberation and vulnerability.


I SAW YOU DANCING by Sarah Pech tells the story of people who find a way to themselves and to each other through dance. It not only reveals the technical brilliance of the movements, but also the courageous attempt to unfold authentic emotions in an often superficial society. In the accompanying interview with Eva Kirsch and Paul Stuemke, it becomes clear that the film conveys much more than pure dance art: it is a life-affirming message in which modern imagery and precise technique intertwine to celebrate dance as a universal language.
