This documentary - the first in French language - to be completely dedicated to Nijinski - proposes to reflect both the bright side of this clausing-star, and the obscure aspect of his madness.

On the 8th of April 1950, he who the world has named "The God of Dance" died. For six years the star of Nijinski burnt beyond the legend : what do we know of his life, his mysticism, his relations with Diaghilev and Romola (his wife) who were the most fundamental characters in his life ?
