Красочный австрийский фильм о великом народном любимце, актёре Александре Жирарди. Когда его имя впервые появилось на театральных афишах, стиль сценического представления в Вене той поры был легким и непритязательным развлечением. Однако Жирарди искал более серьёзных художественных замыслов. Его актерская деятельность началась в то время, когда в Вене работали композиторы Франц фон Зуппе и Иоганн Штраус. Его жизненная судьба и художественные усилия позже увенчались всеобщим признанием, как в артистических кругах, так и обычной публики.
