In this documentary, which shows that Breakdance is by no means just a hangover from the 1980s, but rather a living, professional form of dance, we follow five ambitious dancers from all over the world, in their preparations for the biggest B-Boying event: The Battle of the Year. We see their techniques, their friends and family. What drives them? And who will beat - or smokethe rest at the battle of the year? Breakdancing, originally a 1980s dance phenomenon, is still going strong. B-Boying started in the 1970s on the streets of New York.
