Finding Your Feet

Sandy Schimmel's seemingly idyllic life is upended when she inadvertently catches her husband, Steve, in an infidelity. At the age of 64, she's forced to confront the reality of their failing marriage after discovering Steve with another woman. While reeling from this betrayal, Sandy receives an unexpected phone call from an old friend, Bif, with whom she had shared a wild and reckless youth, long after high school. This revelation brings about long-forgotten memories, and Bif extends an invitation for Sandy to join her at a dancing holiday in Argentina. Initially hesitant due to her age, the prospect of this new adventure eventually wins her over. Sandy decides to embark on this journey, which will not only be a chance to rediscover her youth but also a way to reclaim her individuality in the wake of her broken marriage. Upon her arrival in Argentina, Sandy meets her group of fellow senior travelers, all of whom share her desire for adventure and excitement. There's Phil, a charming but slightly pompous man who's recently gone through a divorce; Marilyn, his ex-wife and a sassy, flamboyant woman who remains on good terms with Phil; and Jackie, a free-spirited, artistic woman who is traveling alone and searching for meaning in her life. Together, the group embarks on a series of lively dance classes, excursions, and social gatherings, all fueled by an infectious passion for life. As Sandy becomes increasingly immersed in her surroundings, she begins to rekindle her long-dormant love for dance, an activity that served as an essential part of her and Bif's youthful escapades. This newfound connection sparks a transformation in Sandy, as she gradually lets go of her inhibitions and starts embracing her true self. Her dance skills, however, remain a work in progress. One day, during a particularly energetic dance routine, Sandy stumbles upon a dance instructor named Stepney. Stepney's patient yet firm guidance helps Sandy to improve her dance skills and build her confidence. This newfound confidence soon overflows into every aspect of her life, including her relationships. Upon her return home, Sandy finds herself facing the reality of her post-divorce life. As she navigates the changes that come with separation, she starts to reassert her independence and rediscover the parts of herself that she had previously let slip away. Her interactions with her children and Bif's encouragement further propel Sandy to solidify this newfound sense of self. Finding Your Feet is a poignant portrayal of self-discovery, as Sandy Schimmel learns to let go of the constraints of her prim and proper life. As she delves into the vibrant world of dance in Argentina, she begins to find her footing in the aftermath of a divorce that shook her to her core. This charming film showcases the transformative power of friendship, self-discovery, and finding joy in life's simple pleasures.
