The White Crow

Synopsis

The story of Rudolf Nureyev's defection to the West, centering on the five weeks Nureyev spent in Paris with flashbacks to his childhood. The focus is on his passion for dance - his purpose - and what he had to sacrifice to dance and his self-centerdness to be able to do so. Why do we seek superheroes in fictional life when there are so many in real life? Nureyev's superpower? He could dance!
