Dans Zonder Schaduw (Dance Without Shadow) is a short film by Denzel Balois. In this psychological drama film, we follow Sophia, a twenty-year-old dance student who becomes increasingly estranged from the world around her. As the pressure of a major performance builds, she loses herself in a reality that feels less and less real. She finds support in Lucas, the only one who truly seems to understand her. This film was made in collaboration with Stichting Bij Mij Thuis.
