Sinopsis
En Nochebuena, una niña llamada Marie (Cohen) se queda dormido después de una fiesta en su casa y sueña a sí misma en un mundo fantástico donde los juguetes se hacen más grandes que la vida. Ella se encuentra con el Príncipe Cascanueces (Culkin), quien la defiende del Rey Ratón.
The young girl Olga Vasilyeva grew up in an orphanage. She never knew her mother and wants to find her. The only trace she has is a preserved letter from her mother from her personal file, which she managed to get from the administration of the orphanage. For a short vacation at her factory school, she travels from Sverdlovsk to Moscow following the unreliable traces of this letter. Yelena Alekseyevna — the woman she finds when she arrives at the address turns out to be a teacher in a ballet school, the wife of an ordinary senior teacher at the Moscow Technical Institute (who didn't defend his dissertation and is complacent about this) and an old-Moscow intellectual. She kindly meets her, but she is not the person Olga is looking for, she only has the same last name and first name and consonant middle name. She is kind and hospitable, ready to help the girl find her real mother and offers Olga to visit her house during a short stay in Moscow.

In this resplendent and magical classic, the Bolshoi dancers - including David Hallberg in his Bolshoi debut - take us on a dream-like journey through this classic fairy tale complete with jewel fairies, a magical kingdom, a youthful princess and a handsome prince in this purest style of classical ballet. The Bolshoi’s sumptuous staging with its luxurious sets and costumes gives life to Perrault’s fairy tale unlike any other. This performance of Sleeping Beauty was filmed as a sort of celebration of the grand reopening of the Bolshoi Theater's Main Stage (it had been closed for several years for a refurbishment).

Film basado en los diarios de Vaslav Nijinsky (George de la Peña), quien, entre 1909 y 1917, fue primer bailarín del legendario ballet ruso Diaghilev. Primero como bailarín y luego como coreógrafo, Nijinsky escandalizó a un público demasiado acostumbrado a los convencionalismos del siglo XIX, con su interpretación de obras como “El espectro de la rosa” (Fokine), “Scheherezade” (Rimsky-Korsakov), “Petrushka” (Stravinski), “La siesta de un fauno” (Debussy), o “La consagración de la primavera” (Stravinski). En todas ellas dejó su provocadora e innovadora huella. Entre 1912 y 1913, vivió un conflictivo triángulo amoroso que repercutió de manera trágica tanto en su vida profesional como personal. Mantuvo una larga relación laboral y amorosa con Diaghilev (Alan Bates), el posesivo y celoso director del Ballet Ruso; pero, cuando se enamoró de Romola de Pulsky (Leslie Browne), dejó a Diaghilev para casarse con ella. Éste, despechado, hizo uso de toda su influencia para perjudicarlo.
