A moving, joyful and intimate portrait of Aurélie Dupont, prima ballerina at the Paris National Opera, and guest-star on the world's greatest stages.
Returning to his roots as a documentary filmmaker, world-renowned director Cédric Klapisch takes in her grace, observes her daily life, and records Aurélie's self-discipline and performances. Through four of the most famous and beautiful ballets - The Lady of the Camellias, Swan Lake, Raymonda and The Park choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj - Klapisch creates the portrait of a girl as beautiful as starlight, as fresh as a rose and as strong as a bull.
Direction: Cédric Klapisch
Production: Les Films d’Ici, Ce Qui Me Meut & Opéra National de Paris
