In 1989, François Verret, one of the most forthcoming
French choreographers, proposed to Rosella Hightower to make a stage come-back at the age of 72,
she barely hesitated. The performance "L et Eux... la Nuit" has toured the whole of Europe.
As a result of this meeting, François Verret decided
to make a film on Rosella Hightower. His passion for images and fascination
for aging artists led him to follow and film her where her career and
her need for inspiration had led her. From New York to Belle Isle, from
Cannes to Chateauvallon, François Verret fixes a very sensitive attention
on this great artist, witness of the last "Monsters" of classical ballet.
