Billy Elliot
Billy tvinges til at gå til boksning af sin far, selvom han er en elendig slagsbror. En dag, da den arme dreng er til træning, ser han, at de i lokalet ved siden af danser ballet. Billy lader sig overtale til at deltage af balletlærerindens datter. Da Billys far opdager sønnens "umandige" interesse, bliver han rasende, og Billy bliver korporligt fjernet fra øvelokalet. Men lærerinden, der har set Billys talent, giver ikke op.
