A show about a 70 year old man who finally wants to pursue with dream to learn ballet and dance in front of an audience. 

Its been his dream when he was a child, when he saw a ballerino soaring during his practice. But his father disallowed him to learn. 

Now when he's 70, he sees his friend passed away with words that tells him not to live in regret. 

He then learns ballet from a young ballerino. This young ballerino also has a dad who went to prison and didn't feel his love. 

But the old man said sth which really struck me: he says, a father's happiest moment was being the first to carry him when he's a baby. Fathers don't tell you but he loves you deeply. You make him very happy when you born. And he recollects how his dad didn't allow him to learn ballet, and when he's old, his dad said 3 words: I am sorry. He then realises that it's not that the father is glad he didn't pursue his dream, his father feels sad too that his son didn't get to learn what he wanted.  because of the family needs. 

The plot twists that the young ballerino realised that this old man actually has Alzheimer's dementia. 

Its only when you lose things that you realise how precious they are. How much you treasure your relationships. How much we need to love our fathers, or mother's before it's too late. And to know our parents suffer too with us when we are sad.
