Through compelling and deeply moving archival footage, this film brings the Argentine dancer Jorge Donn back to life. Becoming Béjart’s favourite performer, muse and lover, Donn brings to the stage a new masculinity; intense, vulnerable and deeply sensitive. At the height of his artistry, his health fails, his great love drifts away, and his body is weakened by AIDS. Yet tirelessly, Donn continues to create and dance until the very end, immortalised in his final performance of Ravel’s Boléro.
