View on the Pragda STREAM site

A cinematic portrait unfolds of the larger-than-life love story between Panamanian diplomat Tito Arias and renowned dancer Dame Margot Fonteyn. This biographical documentary skillfully intertwines interviews, archival footage, personal correspondence, nostalgic photographs, poignant dance sequences, and excerpts from Fonteyn’s autobiography. It illuminates their enduring bond amidst familial trials, political pressures, and profound love. Their journey, veiled in fame, infidelities, a coup attempt supported by Fidel Castro, and an assault that rendered Tito Arias quadriplegic, emerges as a captivating narrative of resilience and devotion.
