Ashley and Nathan Hawkes are both 16 and obsessed with Irish dance. As identical in appearance as they are in they their passion for the sport, they rehearse countless hours a week, and are ranked 17th and 18th in the world. But Ashley and Nathan aren’t twins: they’re triplets. And their brother Francis is the reason they both train and compete so fiercely.
Francis was born with cerebral palsy. He was in hospital until he was a year old and is wheelchair bound, but he has never missed a single one of his brothers’ competitions. No one cheers louder than Francis when Ashley and Nathan win, and as Ashley puts it: ‘Every time I win, it’s for him.’
Following the run-up to the World Irish Dancing Championships in Ireland, this is a film about an ordinary family in extraordinary circumstances. It is about family love, the power of dance and the mysterious, unshakeable bond between the triplets.
