Documentary feature about ardent fans' outlook on the unique and world-famous Russian ballet.
Five ballet fans are under the hypnotic influence of the Mariinsky (Kirov) Opera and Ballet Theatre of St. Petersburg. They have visited ballet performances for over half a century and were the witnesses and custodians of the triumph of the glorious past.
But now they are forced to gaze at the ballerina's poor techniques and the general downfall of once-privileged Russian art.
This is a story about passion, immortality and elevation of spirits
