Vaslav Nijinsky, the iconic early‑20th‑century ballet virtuoso, wrestles with his own sexuality while caught between his powerful, controlling lover and the tempting charm of a young ballerina who hopes to draw him away. The film explores his brilliance, inner conflict and the fragile line between genius and madness.
