Beautiful and heartbreaking, Margot brings to the screen the glamorous and turbulent life of Britain's first international ballet superstar. At the age of 40, Dame Margot Fonteyn was already one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century, but beneath her elegantly poised facade was a woman painfully aware of the future. Torn between her loyalties to the Royal Ballet and her marriage to Roberto de Arias, Margot sensed mounting pressure to consider retirement. But as her star began to wane Margot's unexpected pairing with Rudolph Nureyev caused a global sensation. A timeless drama about love, passion and performance.
