In the 1920s, the glamour and extravagance of Hollywood are at their peak, and a young Italian immigrant arrives in the city with dreams of becoming a star. His name is Rudolf Nureyev, but soon everyone will know him as a charismatic icon of silent cinema, a passionate artist who seduces his audience and captivates the most beautiful actresses of the era. As he rises to the heights of success, he also faces the reality of an industry filled with ruthless competitors and a system that shows no mercy to those who fail to meet expectations.
Despite his dazzling fame, the protagonist cannot escape the ghosts of his past and the shadows of his own identity. Amid excesses and tumultuous relationships, his personal life becomes complicated by a love triangle that challenges his masculinity and his place in the world of cinema. While the star shines on screen, behind the scenes he bears the weight of loneliness and the pressure to stay at the top.
Inspired by the life of a true silent film icon, this movie plunges into the opulence of old Hollywood, while inviting the viewer to reflect on the cost of fame and the struggle for authenticity in an environment that often demands everything. It is a story of love, ambition, and the inevitable outcome of someone who, despite it all, continues to search for their place in the world.
