No Spoilers!

"The Ballet Malee" movie is inspired by "The Bingo Project" ballet.

​

Ballet Arabesque and the Bingo Symphony Orchestra tells us the story of an undefined future when global warming is an irreversible reality and every step a person can take is dictated by bureaucracy. To make their living, people are forced to apply for project funding for everything of value in life.


The main protagonists, husband and wife Philip and Elena, have won last year's "Project of the Year" - building a social centre for senior citizens. Their friend and colleague The Clerk, the mastermind behind the couple's participation in last year's project, however, has had somewhat different plans should they encounter their sudden burst of financial success.


At the centre's unveiling, we find out what the money from the project was actually spent on - opening a Bingo Hall. A large enough space for bingo games, which can also conveniently be accommodated for any event or ceremony.

​

As life goes on and the Bingo Hall begins to thrive, Philip and Elena learn from the news about the new "Project of the Year".


This year the project revolves around the significance of culture. Any potential candidates must form a dance troupe and put on a ballet show, and the most exemplary performance would win the coveted "Project of the Year". And finally, anyone - regardless of state, stature or skill, can participate in this year's competition.
