"The Latvian Nationwide Song and Dance Festival," held every five years, is one of the world's largest folk dance events, with nearly three times the participants of the "Olympic Games" but rarely seen globally. It represents the enduring preservation of Latvian culture - a tradition fiercely upheld by the diaspora during Soviet occupation. "More Than a Dance" follows the Canadian Latvian dance group "Daugavina" as they prepare for this momentous festival. The documentary captures their journey to Latvia, exploring their search for belonging between two homes, the challenge of maintaining cultural traditions in a globalized world, and their profound reconnection with their roots.
