At 41, Bernd Burgmaier puts on his ballet shoes to dance The Dying Swan one last time, his favourite female role. After a successful career as a dancer in Les Ballets Trockadero, he left the stage, found love and settled in Tel Aviv. A docu-dance that sensitively challenges binary perceptions of life and gender.
