Driven by a quest for perfection, John Cranko (Sam Riley) is the toast of 1950s London until he's prosecuted for homosexuality. Recruited by the Stuttgart Ballet, the manic workaholic revitalizes the company and builds a world-renowned ensemble while grappling with destructive urges in this dance-infused tribute to the virtuoso choreographer.
