Stuttgart 1960 - when choreographer John Cranko lands by plane, he has no idea that this moment will change his life. He is to choreograph as a guest at the Stuttgart Ballet. In London, he had to endure numerous humiliations due to his homosexuality, including being banned from working; here, Cranko recovers from his humiliating experiences and nobody seems to be bothered by his unconventional lifestyle. After a short time, he becomes ballet director, the darling of the public, and devotes himself to his art and an intoxicating lifestyle.
The rapid and steep rise to the top of the world, the "Stuttgart ballet miracle", made John Cranko a superstar of his time: "A sensitive and difficult portrait of the choreographer John Cranko, who gave ballet a new impetus from Stuttgart." (taz).
