"Enfant terrible" of the dance world, Jean Babilée is really a sage. His unrelenting curiosity, his instinctive way of approaching or avoiding people or situations, his technical virtuosity and presence on and off stage, are all to be felt in this documentary which recounts his life. We meet some of those with whom he has crossed paths such as Mikhaïl Baryshnikov, Maurice Béjart, Leslie Caron, Yvette Chauviré, Costa Gavras, Jean-Paul Gould, his wife Zapo, etc...
