돈과 권력을 앞세운 권력층으로 인해 모두가 힘들어진 시기. 전쟁에서 죽은 줄 알았던 귀족 가문의 스무살 청년 ‘로빈’이 나타난 뒤 부자들의 돈만 훔친다는 후드를 쓴 남자에 대한 소문이 들려온다. 정체를 알 수 없는 그에게 막대한 현상금이 걸리지만 번번이 잡는데 실패하고 신출귀몰한 후드의 활약에 사람들도 점차 동요하기 시작하는데…
At the age of forty Dame Margot Fonteyn is considered to be past her best as a prima ballerina and Ninette de Valois is reducing her roles at the Royal Ballet. Then the exciting young Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev, a recent defector to the West, comes into her life and her bed and revitalizes her career. Frederick Aashton creates a new ballet for them and they become the golden couple of the ballet world. However, Margot is married to Roberto 'Tito' Arias, a Panamanian politician of dubious repute who is not sympathetic to her calling and is probably faithless. When he is shot and paralyzed for life Margot must carry on dancing well into her sixties in order to pay for his costly treatment though she still collaborates with Rudolf in the occasional ballet.
