Toni, 11 ans, s’entraîne dans la salle de boxe de son grand frère. Elle découvre qu’à l’étage au dessus, un groupe de filles apprennent une variante très physique du hip hop, le drill. Attirée par leur énergie, leur force, leur assurance, Toni abandonne peu à peu la boxe pour la danse…

THE FITS is a psychological portrait of 11-year-old Toni-a tomboy assimilating to a tight-knit dance team in Cincinnati’s West End. Enamored by the power and confidence of this strong community of girls, Toni eagerly absorbs routines, masters drills, and even pierces her own ears to fit in. When a mysterious outbreak of fainting spells plagues the team, Toni’s desire for acceptance is twisted.
