In 1960, choreographer John Cranko is asked to guest choreograph the Stuttgart Ballet after he is forced to leave London due to his homosexuality and the associated ban on working there. In Stuttgart, however, nobody seems to be bothered by his sexuality and so he begins a rapid and steep rise to become ballet director and audience favorite. Although he is allowed to pursue his art here, the "Stuttgart Ballet Miracle" has to live through personal lows as well as highs.
The dance scenes in particular develop an understanding of the great choreographer John Cranko, who also became a legend due to his early death.
