Pina is a tribute film dedicated to the dancer Pina Bausch, directed by Wim Wenders and her dance troupe. During the film we are able to see some of her most popular pieces performed in the form of Dance Theater, from which Pina became famous. The film collaboration between the director and the choreographer was in the process of production when Pina died suddenly. Two years later, in 2009, convinced by Pina's ballet troupe, Wenders decided to continue with the project, turning it into a homage to his friend. The result, shot in stunning 3D, is an extraordinary visual experience and an electric representation of Bausch art, performed by a group of extremely talented dancers.

Pina became a documentary on spirituality and the body, where dancing is a liberating, inspiring and extremely powerful force. Through dance, Pina turned life into art, transcending the limits of the possible. With the movements of the body, Pina tells a universal human story, here there is no need for words, but for the divinity of the body and its delicacy.
