Synopsis

Captivating and eclectic archives bring to life the story of Jorge Donn, the legendary Argentine dancer with a singular destiny. After failing to join the Ballet du XXe siècle, the young man embarks on a journey to Brussels, where, under the direction of Maurice Béjart, he becomes the most famous male figure in the dance company. Muse and lover of Béjart, at the peak of his career, he falls victim to a deadly, unknown virus that silently begins to affect him. But tirelessly, Donn continues his work, until his inevitable end.
