Mum.
Everything must be sold.
Immediately.
Furniture, pianos, portraits.
Hall.
- All. - But!
Lovely.
Went.
Hey more fun!
We need money in two days.
The whole amount.
Whole.
Daughter.
You do not know...
Mum.
You see, everything we do is
on behalf of his brother Albert.
You will hand over the lawyer's money
on behalf of his brother, I was not here.
All on behalf of his brother, understand?
Okay, daughter.
Well go. - Good.
Mum.
Mum.
I beg you, don't worry.
Hey!
Anna!
Victor, honey!
- Sorry. - For what?
Straighten.
Thanks to.
For what?
What are you talking about?
This money.
which you sent.
I disgust myself.
Enough about that.
End.
There was nothing.
All.
Victor, everything will be fine.
You'll see.
I will bend my back from morning
to night, but I will have a troupe.
My troupe.
Diaghilev devoted himself to the elect.
I choose the rest.
Be near.
Never ask, never
judge, never doubt.
The world is so small
and time is running out for each of us.
I know this language
which is clear to everyone.
Dance language.
Look, some lady is
following you. Who is she?
Ah, this is Anastasia.
Get acquainted. - Hello.
Anastasia. - Very nice.
Ask. - Do you have a troupe?
Yes. - Thanks to.
And we're going on tour to America.
Madame Pavlova, I'm Yurek.
Sol Yurek. Contact me in Russian.
Born in Odessa.
I am glad to welcome you to the land of America.
Very happy, believe me.
How nice.
thank you.
Hello Mr Yurek.
Where are the journalists?
Madam.
I know that you are the great ballerina of Europe,
but in America you
have to start from scratch.
There will be press, but
only after your speech.
Or never. So, at 7:15
our bus leaves the port.
At 8:13 we are at the hotel.
At 9:05 dinner, at 10:43 departure to the subway,
at 11:15 you are wearing tights
curtain at midnight.
Was there no other
time for us in America?
madam,
I am a small soldier, but a loyal soldier.
Please don't ask too many questions.
A car is waiting for you.
So, first the opera,
2-2.5 hours, then a break.
Equals 30-35-40 minutes
to prepare the scene.
In a word, you can start your
dancing at midnight sharp.
So,
you start at midnight.
Not a second earlier, not a second later
because it is our law.
Give me the score, please.
It's clear.
Tchaikovsky.
Poor fellow. Just think, it
is performed with the feet.
Is it even ballet?
With these perouets, jerking legs without muscles.
Well, of course, he can not
express all the feelings of a person.
Now, take the opera.
Perfectly.
Get started!
Bravo! - Farther!
- Get started!
Anna, it's time to start. The public is waiting.
They will wait.
Until the workout is over
there can be no talk of any performance.
Get started!
Shtaer, why are you here?
Those bastards won't let
me into the orchestra pit.
This is the lock they put on the door.
Jump over the ramp.
Gentlemen, I'm off to jump into the orchestra pit.
Martin, where are you?
"Darling, I can't take it anymore.
But it's interesting to see.
- I have to leave.
Let's get a look.
Get started! Get started!
You hear?
What I hear. You hear?
Do you hear? You see?
What I see. And I see everything. In a word.
If you don't start the
performance in 15 seconds,
you can go back
to Europe. I have my own conductor.
- I protest!
I accept the protest.
And I protest!
And I accept yours.
You are welcome.
The curtain.
The curtain!
Bravo! Bravo! More than ever.
Ladies and gentlemen!
I'm sorry, but it's all right.
Madame Pavlova,
ladies and gentlemen.
Columbus discovered America at dawn
you open it at midnight!
Good luck to you!
What happened to you?
I have wooden legs.
Maybe cancel the show?
Madame, what's wrong with you?
Hold on.
What?
Call a doctor.
Lord. - Anna!
Nothing, Masha.
Nothing.
Karishima,
it's time.
I still have...
sixteen bars.
I have 8 bars ahead of me.
Jeri, this is Rich.
It's incredible.
She lay, I saw.
She had a cramp. Then she jumped up!
Leave space on the front page.
I will pass after each action.
Jerry, I'm dictating.
The hall is silent.
Gross silence.
Well no. I'm not mistaken. They don't sleep.
They are...
They look at her like sleepwalkers.
Jerry, she's still sleeping
not knowing that she was loved
in America no less than in Russia.
Today at midnight the era of
ballet in America was opened.
jerry,
God is in her.
Who said?
I said!
And I can be trusted. Mr d'Andre.
What does Madame Pavlova love
more than anything in the world?
Tulips. - Only?
Also, don't worry about her.
Perfectly.
Tulips and loneliness.
Please, yes. It's on the front page. Yes.
America said yes.
I would like to know just one thing. Who am I?
Your husband, Anna, or the impresario?
Now go.
Maple leaf!
Hey!
Maple leaf, don't miss it!
Can not be!
Children, children. This is Pavlova.
Pavlova.
Show us Anna
like a maple leaf falls.
Or maybe a dragonfly?
Or a night butterfly? Where are you from?
I, as always, from everywhere.
What lovely students you have.
Lovely, with a spark.
Girls are weird.
Anna Pavlova, do your
children also study ballet?
Children? Children, children.
Kids, let's spin!
Spin around, spin around!
No.
I refuse to dance
"King Kandavl".
Anna Pavlova,
rebellious soul.
Break the performance -
you have to pay a penalty.
You, my dear, will not even
have money left for a cab.
It's too much fun even for you.
Do you understand it?
Please, I'm ready.
I'm proud of you Anna.
You are the glory of Russia.
But I am obliged to keep the traditions of the theater,
discipline without exception.
Vladimir Arkadievich, I...
I want to dance, but only what I love.
Are you going to leave the theatre?
I?
I have belonged to the Maryinsky Theater since the day...
when I first visited it.
Invite Fokin.
Let him stage
"Swan Lake" for me.
I'm waiting for it...
I've been waiting for this moment since graduation.
I will rehearse at night if necessary.
So sir...
In July you have London,
Berlin in August, then vacation.
We will return to this issue in September.
And now "King Kandavl".
I beg you. - Not.
This is a dead show.
I can assure you
your refusal will displease the court.
If he knows me
and loves Russia
then it is not with the good will of the court.
Misha.
You are swimming against the current.
I'm not alone, there are two of us.
I will swim. - My bruises
don't they teach you anything?
They teach, they teach.
Why are you looking at me so strangely?
I missed you.
By the way, Anna, have
you read today's newspaper?
What do they write there?
- Didn't you read it?
And don't read.
- Went. - Let's go to.
What are the principles there? Don't
care, Mrs. Pavlova, about your principles.
And they don't care about you, and they don't care about the theater.
Shame on you!
- She does not want "King Kandavl"!
So what? We are also sick, but we are dancing.
This is exactly what annoys you.
Her exclusivity.
Leave Pavlova alone. - Quiet!
Please stand up. End the
conversation and start rehearsing.
Sorry,
Who gave her the right to behave like this?
Our short...
Such a short ballet life.
My dears,
I came to say goodbye to you.
This is for you.
Uncle Yasha, this is for you.
Much obliged. - Girls.
- Thanks. - Boys.
Thank you Anna Pavlova
But I won't be long, as always.
I do not for a long time.
We dissolve in the sounds,
and softer, softer, softer.
Well, what are you playing there?
Stop, stop, stop. It's impossible to play like that.
I'm sorry madam. But the point is that
you are dancing something that,
unfortunately, is not in the score.
Yes, that's right. He is right.
If I feel it, then it is.
I didn't expect any other answer.
Gentlemen, after D-minor we remove eighth notes.
Full note.
“Madame, is the pause still worth it?”
Pause, gentlemen, is
on the tip of my wand.
Everyone look at me through the eyes of a falcon.
Dear Steyer,
after the fermat, when I go out on the bodobor,
you must sail to heaven with me.
Who will remain here
to conduct here, madam?
You. I am waiting.
So it is, gentlemen.
Madame is dancing, I'm dancing behind her
you dance behind me and in the right places
together we all take off into the sky.
AND...
- I can feel it. “Excuse me,
madam, the Kaiser will be here now.”
He will give you his
hand, you must kiss it.
Don't interrupt, the rehearsal is on!
You are behind! There is a whirlwind, a whirlwind, a whirlwind!
Everyone, go away. - Anna!
So-so. So!
Girls, girls, the jump should be easier.
Airy!
- Why are you late? - Madam!
Excuse me, but I... It's not my fault.
And who is to blame?
- Madam. There's a prince... Ivan, the crown prince...
was killed in Sarajevo.
Russia is at war.
Madam, it's not my fault, the war!
What kind of war?
- Russia and Germany.
Hello.
One minute please.
Trains to Petersburg to Warsaw,
Riga and Vienna cancelled.
Both passenger and freight.
Thank you.
Russian subjects
living in the territory
empires must be integrated.
But I have not only Russians in my troupe.
English, French, Poles.
How can we be?
– Only Russians are subject to integration.
But we petitioned the Kaiser.
Victor d'Andre received a lot of assurances.
Victor d'Andre is my impresario.
I know.
I'm very sorry
but the request was rejected.
I offer you a pass
to the Belgian border.
That's all I can do for you.
You must leave by tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
You don't have much time.
I don't know, probably to the right. There.
Right. However, wherever you want.
Madam Pavlova, I did the impossible.
Subscription for two years
throughout Latin America.
Start with Mexico.
It's almost calm there.
Senors, don't worry.
This is the safest place
on all Mexican soil.
Post and telegraph never blow up.
We are valued and respected by all warring parties.
- Write.
Here in de Mexico
to the presidential palace
His Excellency the President
Mexican Republic
Alfred Caranzo.
Mr. President,
I came to your country to dance.
I ask you to help
the safety of my troupe.
Dot. With deep respect to you,
Anna Pavlova.
Senior.
Are you sure that this telegram
reach the addressee?
We live in a time when
no one is sure of anything.
Hello madam.
Good afternoon. My regards.
Who is Madame Pavlova here?
I am Pavlova.
Captain Fortis Francisco Romeo.
By personal order of the
President of the Republic of Mexico
I have been assigned to accompany you.
And ensure your personal safety
and your troupe during
your stay in our beautiful
and hospitable country.
You don't have to worry.
In Mexico they know how to
appreciate great artists like you.
Mister officer, are these
regular troops or rebels?
Believe me, señora, these are the
best soldiers of the Republic of Mexico.
Attention!
All seniors of Anna Pavlova
divine. Fire.
What could be more beautiful:
Third class carriages
third class hotel
and a third class audience.
♪ Moscow ♪
♪ golden-domed, ♪
♪ Ringing bells ♪
♪ Tsar cannon sovereign, ♪
♪ flavor of pies. ♪
♪ Candy-lambs, like
swans in a sleigh, ♪
♪ Hey, you stray horses, I hear
a song from the irradiation. ♪

white snow off their heels. ♪
Anna!
Anna!
Monsieur d'André, she's gone mad!
Look what she's doing! - Anna!
Anna! Anna!
Do not touch me.
I'm flying.
Anna!
Welcome, madam Pavlova.
do me the honor
offer you a cup of coffee.
Yes, gentlemen.
Mr Governor is right.
Our coming here was a profound mistake.
That's what you think, Herr Steyer.
It would be a crime
on my part, señora,
let you perform
with his troupe in such a room.
The yellow plague is rampant in the city.
We are with you involuntarily
would create a hotbed of infection, señora.
But Mr Governor
the inhabitants of your city
gather in crowds in the squares.
They are there mourning their dead.
Mr Governor
give me the area for one evening.
Anna Pavlova,
our souls
warmed by your tenderness.
You have come here like a messiah.
At night we looked at the map.
We were looking for a country
where were you born.
She is far away, on the other side of the world.
Anna Pavlova,
daughter of Russia.
Our hands are stretched out
to you to touch her majesty.
May God keep you and may
He return you with his generosity
all that
that you are so generous
give to your loved ones.
Light,
warmth, joy and love of life.
Farewell, Anna Pavlova.
This is the best part of London.
Mister, come with me.
- I'm coming, ma'am.
I want to plant 8,000 tulips here.
“It will cost you dearly.
And not one less.
I understand, I will select the
best for you. Where do you want?
Over there on that lawn.
8 thousand tulips.
Beautiful, but very expensive.
Beauty will save the world.
Good words, very good.
And who said them?
One Russian man
in the forest
in one city
Understand. Who is the gardener?
- Not.
Writer.
You must think that he bought
tulips at a very low price, right?
Where? Madam, where are we going?
Faster, Agus.
Madam...
Victor, where is north?
Oh, I don't know. - Madam.
See the moss on the tree?
Yes. - This is the north.
Is there Russia? - No, madam.
There is my home. A little further down the building
but to the right is Russia.
Anna, let's go.
The tea is getting cold.
Anna?
I bought you all the newspapers in England.
But there's nothing new there.
Russia is still at war.
They write about some riots.
Don't be sad, Anna.
Let's have some tea.
Anna!
Victor, where are you? - Masha.
Revolution in Russia.
The king abdicated.
What? The revolution?
Where is Anna?
At the station, waiting for you. You are late.
Revolution in Russia...
Madam, what a wind!
Victor, you have to go back.
Contracts need to be terminated.
And go to Russia.
You will owe the whole world.
Life is not enough to pay.
What to do?
Fulfill contracts and dance.
Annushka.
Anna. - BUT? What?
What? - We arrived.
Where are we? - I do not know.
Where are we?
God...
The end of the world.
There is no earth.
One sand.
But sand is not fire.
We took the suitcases and continued on foot.
Dear madam. How strange it gets...
All your 8 thousand tulips
blossomed, but you are all gone and gone.
Who's here?!
Who's here?
Don't worry Mr Agus, it's me.
Well, how do you like our house, Seryozha?
America on the left
Europe on the right.
You are in the middle.
Swan pier.
You are not afraid that they
will they eat sooner or later?
They are vegetarians.
Yes?
Rare case.
Seryozha.
Well, how is our air?
Perfectly.
Ah, Anya, Anya, Anyushka,
let go of all this living creatures of the world
and go to Paris.
To the same Paris that
granted you an academic secret.
This is recognition, but not love.
Paris, Sergei Pavlovich, has always been and is,
and will be yours.
Let's drink to our new estate
in the name of the triumph of Russian ballet.
Let's drink to
Nijinsky's health.
God bless him to find himself.
For 8 years of ballet life
Nijinsky created not only his immortality,
but the whole era of ballet.
I was talking
with the best psychiatrists.
There is a chance.
I will save you.
But what about the troupe now without Nijinsky?
Do you want to know the truth?
There is no former troupe.
Serge Lifar and Serge Diaghilev.
Everyone is here.
And my dear Paris
devours in the night
ten geniuses.
No more geniuses?
Into the wall and out!
Annushka, don't you want to
victorious return to Paris?
You will have everything.
Troupe,
Fokin.
Me. That's who will always be there.
I don't want to and I can't.
Well, why can't you?!
I can't sign my
troupe's death warrant.
Russian season.
Russian season.
– Russian.. – Pancakes!
Hot pancakes!
Ask!
On prescription!
I allow myself to eat one.
No, no, madam. What do you! The Lord is with you.
You must be in shape.
Be thin and lean.
And I have nothing to lose. I eat everything myself.
My dear! My joy!
You are getting prettier every day, Anna.
Ask.
How do you do it?
You are beautiful and fresh...
Disarming talent!
Anna, honey.
How does your troupe grow?
Yes.
Sir.
Another panic.
This was to be expected.
We are on the brink of disaster.
Anna, please try.
look realistically at
what is happening.
Nobody wants to watch ballets anymore.
They run to the stock market.
This game excites them, not ballets
and theaters. America is in crisis.
This is a typhoon that will not spare us either.
Anna, Anna...
Disband the troupe.
We'll pay compensation,
send everyone home.
To you, I promise to
keep the same conditions.
You won't lose anything.
Anna, honey.
As before, you will remain
the highest paid
ballerina in America.
Anna, I'm afraid in Boston
and Philadelphia theaters will be empty.
Completely empty?
Almost empty.
So not empty.
I said almost!
Read the papers, Anna!
And finally understand...
- Yes, of course, he is right, dear.
Disband the troupe. At least for a while.
And then... - Shut up!
Jurek, you said "almost".
So there, where the halls will be empty,
I personally ask you not to pay,
troupe only!
Anna. My contract is not with the troupe,
and with you!
I won't... I don't want to listen to you!
Rather, you will become pointe shoes,
rather than disband my troupe!
All right, we're going to rehearse.
Work, girls, work.
You sometimes remember the war.
Anna, there are so many of you in this house. Out, out.
Look. You unwittingly
cause envy in others.
Misha, dear.
Are you satisfied with life?
Yes, Anna.
I have a school, beloved students. Everything is OK.
I am very pleased.
You know,
if you do not look at the shore,
then this house looks like bondage.
No, Annushka.
Not like that. - But as?
the scene? - I tried.
I need a troupe.
Big.
As in Maryinsky.
I'm tired of them, fed up with them.
Look, even Diaghilev
Almighty Diaghilev.
Your Diaghilev.
- Your Diaghilev.
Could not create a troupe.
Misha, Misha... Shall we go with me?
I saw your Don Quixote,
most beautiful sight.
Maul is real.
The rest, sorry...
And I?
You need an old chicket
young Fokin
and the stage of Maryinsk.
Cheers, lady.
Oh Misha...
Do you remember
the day I ran to you
spring.
It seems to me,
that I once lived
and in that former life everything was better.
Yes, Mishul, yes.
Including your arrival.
OK.
God.
You don't have to go to the movies.
No film, no painting, no photography.
Don't save yourself in the wrong dimensions.
You become Pavlova
when the will to glory arises,
legends are built. That's better.
Let's stick together. - We will.
Diaghilev is over.
Nijinsky in the hospital.
Morkin and I were transferred to ballet nannies.
You are the only one left.
You are in the saddle, as the Americans say.
Hold on, Annushka.
It's stuffy in here. Let's go outside.
How is your son?
Perfectly.
He dances better than me.
And the wife?
Thank you, OK.
How is Victor? - Thank you, OK.
Misha.
You know, I woke up
one night, I was scared.
Don't be stupid, Anya.
I thought that I would die
and forever stay in a foreign land.
We are small islands
scattered in the ocean.
But we have always remained part of the mainland.
It's an illusion, Misha.
We are not islands.
We are prisoners of our destiny.
We are nothing without our homeland.
You did something for Russia.
And we will be remembered
I'm sure.
Russia made me like this.
Who do I see? I'm very glad to see you,
Mr Yurek. - Hello.
Hello old man. - I am glad.
Madame Pavlova, Sunday Time is interested.
You have traveled all over the world.
Where would you like to live ultimately?
Somewhere in Russia.
New York Times, New York Times!
Madame Pavlova!
Madame Pavlova!
I'm sorry,
Madam Pavlova, I am a correspondent
New York Times. Sorry. What
could such a person wish for?
an outstanding ballerina, how
are you, being at the zenith of fame?
Dance until the last day.
Madame, I represent Maya Migeral,
let me know how you managed
to return the audience to the hall?
Gentlemen, but it's so simple.
You just need to really want to.
I remember you when you were still very young.
Ken Miller,
sorry madam pavlova. As I know,
Russia has brought you a lot of grief.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What could you say about this?
Never confuse gentlemen
Russia with the Directorate of the Imperial Theatre.
Madam, I would like...
You don't have to, please!
Other steamer in stock
I do not have.
This one is already sailing. So sorry
us gentlemen.
Mrs Pavlova,
What do you take home
from New York with you?
The inscription on the pediment of the main post office.
No snow, no rain, no storm
do not stop the American mail
in the performance of their duties.
It's about me.
Dear Serge Lifar, they say you are now the most
fashion dancer in Paris.
Unfortunately it's true.
Why, unfortunately?
I smoke, okay?
- Nothing, please.
So why unfortunately?
After all, glory
the chain in which
the fall count begins.
Have you ever thought
about it, dear Anna Pavlova?
I didn't have time for this.
Do you want some tea?
Please, real Russian tea.
She brewed it herself. Ask.
Thank you. - I ask you to.
Anna Pavlova.
Dear Anna Pavlova.
You do not notice the passage of time.
For now there are
two Pavlovs.
One real
another from legend.
I would be ready to kill the real Pavlova,
for the sake of preserving the former,
which drove me crazy.
Anna Pavlova,
you endlessly wander
somewhere: Then you are in Africa,
in the sands, then on some
abandoned island in Sweden.
I understand.
But take care of yourself. keep yourself
unattainable goddess of dancing.
You should not be touched by
a crowd of profane people who
understands nothing in the intricacies of ballet.
You are the only one.
Stay her.
Madame, teach me fouette, please.
Teach me fuete.
Girls, hurry back. You're crashing
the rehearsal, can you hear me girls?
Madam. - Do you hear me?
Madam, I'm sorry.
In one newspaper they wrote
that you teach us only
what you can do yourself.
What are you... That you almost
do not know the technique of dance.
I was ashamed
and sad to see and hear it.
But I was poked in the nose with this newspaper.
Show us the fuete.
- Please, show.
- Hush hush. I beg you girls.
Do you hear me? Take it easy.
Madam, I can't do anything about them.
These kids are absolutely insufferable.
But girls, dear, this is not ballet.
This is a technique.
And the ballet...
Ballet is not legs
it is the soul.
Girls, everyone. Looked pretty.
We went to rehearsal. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Series, I...
received a letter from Leningrad.
Letter? From whom?
It's signed by the lead artist...
our theatre.
They call me back.
Oh how worried
oh how worried she is.
Yes.
Cards can make you a fortune.
Dancing - never. - How much?
Soon The Hague
win faster.
Ugh you.
Wow, you won!
I won for the first time in my life! Four, really.
And ten. Truth!
Can you imagine? Sasha!
Sasha, I won, can you imagine? Sasha!
You need to make a wish right now.
In a year
I will perform on the stage of the Maryinsky Theatre.
May God help me. - Bravo.
Bravo ma'am, bravo!
Stop!
Stop, they tell you! Can't you see, right?
Excuse me. Hey, who's there?
What happened?
You can't go any further!
I have a lot of passengers, understand?
Where are you all? Where are you, Anna?
- What's happening?
Be careful, there are sharp stones here.
Be careful please.
Excuse me. - No need.
Well, we were lucky.
- You can't go any further.
The path is blurred.
Lord, nothing is impossible...
- There is a village nearby, you can spend the night.
I spend. - We'll go on foot.
Let's go to! - Follow me.
Think you're afraid of the water.
- All over me!
Ordinary rain.
Right, right.
Are you better?
I'm better.
What temperature?
- Doesn't matter.
Let's watch. - Not.
It is too early.
Did you take medicine?
Good.
What time is it now?
Half past one.
Lie down.
Go, really.
Good.
Go away, I'll get dressed.
I'm leaving.
Her Majesty the Queen
sent her personal doctor.
Doctor Clauson.
She asks you to take it.
I'm leaving.
Thermometer!
Go away. - Anna.
- Get out.
- Give me a thermometer.
I have 36.6.
Anna.
Well, why are you like this?
Go away.
Madame Pavlova does not agree to the operation.
But you are her husband, you must
persuade her. I am used to
agreeing with my wife on everything.
Mister d'Andre,
the situation is serious,
you must realize it.
I did everything in my power.
After the operation, she will not be able to dance.
And she understands this.
Mister d'Andre.
She will die.
Let me talk to your wife.
Anna!
Victor.
Anna, what are you doing?!
This is madness.
It is too early.
Can not be so.
Are you better?
Yes. How long until the show?
Now three. Plenty more time.
Try to sleep.
You'll wake up in an hour.
- I promise.
- Sleep.
- When will the car arrive?
The car will be at six.
Let him come at five.
- All right, he'll be here at five.
Here, have a drink.
Misha.
Can not be...
You...
Here is your car.
Yes, I must hurry.
What are you, Anna.
- I'm afraid to be late.
I understand you.
I'm sorry.
Good.
We have a lot of time.
We will do this with you.
Goodbye.
Well go.
Go.
See you tonight, Misha.
They all... All came to see me at the play.
How cute.
Prepare...
Get me a suit.
swan.
Everything must be sold.
Immediately.
Furniture, pianos, portraits.
Hall.
- All. - But!
Lovely.
Went.
Hey more fun!
We need money in two days.
The whole amount.
Whole.
Daughter.
You do not know...
Mum.
You see, everything we do is
on behalf of his brother Albert.
You will hand over the lawyer's money
on behalf of his brother, I was not here.
All on behalf of his brother, understand?
Okay, daughter.
Well go. - Good.
Mum.
Mum.
I beg you, don't worry.
Hey!
Anna!
Victor, honey!
- Sorry. - For what?
Straighten.
Thanks to.
For what?
What are you talking about?
This money.
which you sent.
I disgust myself.
Enough about that.
End.
There was nothing.
All.
Victor, everything will be fine.
You'll see.
I will bend my back from morning
to night, but I will have a troupe.
My troupe.
Diaghilev devoted himself to the elect.
I choose the rest.
Be near.
Never ask, never
judge, never doubt.
The world is so small
and time is running out for each of us.
I know this language
which is clear to everyone.
Dance language.
Look, some lady is
following you. Who is she?
Ah, this is Anastasia.
Get acquainted. - Hello.
Anastasia. - Very nice.
Ask. - Do you have a troupe?
Yes. - Thanks to.
And we're going on tour to America.
Madame Pavlova, I'm Yurek.
Sol Yurek. Contact me in Russian.
Born in Odessa.
I am glad to welcome you to the land of America.
Very happy, believe me.
How nice.
thank you.
Hello Mr Yurek.
Where are the journalists?
Madam.
I know that you are the great ballerina of Europe,
but in America you
have to start from scratch.
There will be press, but
only after your speech.
Or never. So, at 7:15
our bus leaves the port.
At 8:13 we are at the hotel.
At 9:05 dinner, at 10:43 departure to the subway,
at 11:15 you are wearing tights
curtain at midnight.
Was there no other
time for us in America?
madam,
I am a small soldier, but a loyal soldier.
Please don't ask too many questions.
A car is waiting for you.
So, first the opera,
2-2.5 hours, then a break.
Equals 30-35-40 minutes
to prepare the scene.
In a word, you can start your
dancing at midnight sharp.
So,
you start at midnight.
Not a second earlier, not a second later
because it is our law.
Give me the score, please.
It's clear.
Tchaikovsky.
Poor fellow. Just think, it
is performed with the feet.
Is it even ballet?
With these perouets, jerking legs without muscles.
Well, of course, he can not
express all the feelings of a person.
Now, take the opera.
Perfectly.
Get started!
Bravo! - Farther!
- Get started!
Anna, it's time to start. The public is waiting.
They will wait.
Until the workout is over
there can be no talk of any performance.
Get started!
Shtaer, why are you here?
Those bastards won't let
me into the orchestra pit.
This is the lock they put on the door.
Jump over the ramp.
Gentlemen, I'm off to jump into the orchestra pit.
Martin, where are you?
"Darling, I can't take it anymore.
But it's interesting to see.
- I have to leave.
Let's get a look.
Get started! Get started!
You hear?
What I hear. You hear?
Do you hear? You see?
What I see. And I see everything. In a word.
If you don't start the
performance in 15 seconds,
you can go back
to Europe. I have my own conductor.
- I protest!
I accept the protest.
And I protest!
And I accept yours.
You are welcome.
The curtain.
The curtain!
Bravo! Bravo! More than ever.
Ladies and gentlemen!
I'm sorry, but it's all right.
Madame Pavlova,
ladies and gentlemen.
Columbus discovered America at dawn
you open it at midnight!
Good luck to you!
What happened to you?
I have wooden legs.
Maybe cancel the show?
Madame, what's wrong with you?
Hold on.
What?
Call a doctor.
Lord. - Anna!
Nothing, Masha.
Nothing.
Karishima,
it's time.
I still have...
sixteen bars.
I have 8 bars ahead of me.
Jeri, this is Rich.
It's incredible.
She lay, I saw.
She had a cramp. Then she jumped up!
Leave space on the front page.
I will pass after each action.
Jerry, I'm dictating.
The hall is silent.
Gross silence.
Well no. I'm not mistaken. They don't sleep.
They are...
They look at her like sleepwalkers.
Jerry, she's still sleeping
not knowing that she was loved
in America no less than in Russia.
Today at midnight the era of
ballet in America was opened.
jerry,
God is in her.
Who said?
I said!
And I can be trusted. Mr d'Andre.
What does Madame Pavlova love
more than anything in the world?
Tulips. - Only?
Also, don't worry about her.
Perfectly.
Tulips and loneliness.
Please, yes. It's on the front page. Yes.
America said yes.
I would like to know just one thing. Who am I?
Your husband, Anna, or the impresario?
Now go.
Maple leaf!
Hey!
Maple leaf, don't miss it!
Can not be!
Children, children. This is Pavlova.
Pavlova.
Show us Anna
like a maple leaf falls.
Or maybe a dragonfly?
Or a night butterfly? Where are you from?
I, as always, from everywhere.
What lovely students you have.
Lovely, with a spark.
Girls are weird.
Anna Pavlova, do your
children also study ballet?
Children? Children, children.
Kids, let's spin!
Spin around, spin around!
No.
I refuse to dance
"King Kandavl".
Anna Pavlova,
rebellious soul.
Break the performance -
you have to pay a penalty.
You, my dear, will not even
have money left for a cab.
It's too much fun even for you.
Do you understand it?
Please, I'm ready.
I'm proud of you Anna.
You are the glory of Russia.
But I am obliged to keep the traditions of the theater,
discipline without exception.
Vladimir Arkadievich, I...
I want to dance, but only what I love.
Are you going to leave the theatre?
I?
I have belonged to the Maryinsky Theater since the day...
when I first visited it.
Invite Fokin.
Let him stage
"Swan Lake" for me.
I'm waiting for it...
I've been waiting for this moment since graduation.
I will rehearse at night if necessary.
So sir...
In July you have London,
Berlin in August, then vacation.
We will return to this issue in September.
And now "King Kandavl".
I beg you. - Not.
This is a dead show.
I can assure you
your refusal will displease the court.
If he knows me
and loves Russia
then it is not with the good will of the court.
Misha.
You are swimming against the current.
I'm not alone, there are two of us.
I will swim. - My bruises
don't they teach you anything?
They teach, they teach.
Why are you looking at me so strangely?
I missed you.
By the way, Anna, have
you read today's newspaper?
What do they write there?
- Didn't you read it?
And don't read.
- Went. - Let's go to.
What are the principles there? Don't
care, Mrs. Pavlova, about your principles.
And they don't care about you, and they don't care about the theater.
Shame on you!
- She does not want "King Kandavl"!
So what? We are also sick, but we are dancing.
This is exactly what annoys you.
Her exclusivity.
Leave Pavlova alone. - Quiet!
Please stand up. End the
conversation and start rehearsing.
Sorry,
Who gave her the right to behave like this?
Our short...
Such a short ballet life.
My dears,
I came to say goodbye to you.
This is for you.
Uncle Yasha, this is for you.
Much obliged. - Girls.
- Thanks. - Boys.
Thank you Anna Pavlova
But I won't be long, as always.
I do not for a long time.
We dissolve in the sounds,
and softer, softer, softer.
Well, what are you playing there?
Stop, stop, stop. It's impossible to play like that.
I'm sorry madam. But the point is that
you are dancing something that,
unfortunately, is not in the score.
Yes, that's right. He is right.
If I feel it, then it is.
I didn't expect any other answer.
Gentlemen, after D-minor we remove eighth notes.
Full note.
“Madame, is the pause still worth it?”
Pause, gentlemen, is
on the tip of my wand.
Everyone look at me through the eyes of a falcon.
Dear Steyer,
after the fermat, when I go out on the bodobor,
you must sail to heaven with me.
Who will remain here
to conduct here, madam?
You. I am waiting.
So it is, gentlemen.
Madame is dancing, I'm dancing behind her
you dance behind me and in the right places
together we all take off into the sky.
AND...
- I can feel it. “Excuse me,
madam, the Kaiser will be here now.”
He will give you his
hand, you must kiss it.
Don't interrupt, the rehearsal is on!
You are behind! There is a whirlwind, a whirlwind, a whirlwind!
Everyone, go away. - Anna!
So-so. So!
Girls, girls, the jump should be easier.
Airy!
- Why are you late? - Madam!
Excuse me, but I... It's not my fault.
And who is to blame?
- Madam. There's a prince... Ivan, the crown prince...
was killed in Sarajevo.
Russia is at war.
Madam, it's not my fault, the war!
What kind of war?
- Russia and Germany.
Hello.
One minute please.
Trains to Petersburg to Warsaw,
Riga and Vienna cancelled.
Both passenger and freight.
Thank you.
Russian subjects
living in the territory
empires must be integrated.
But I have not only Russians in my troupe.
English, French, Poles.
How can we be?
– Only Russians are subject to integration.
But we petitioned the Kaiser.
Victor d'Andre received a lot of assurances.
Victor d'Andre is my impresario.
I know.
I'm very sorry
but the request was rejected.
I offer you a pass
to the Belgian border.
That's all I can do for you.
You must leave by tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
You don't have much time.
I don't know, probably to the right. There.
Right. However, wherever you want.
Madam Pavlova, I did the impossible.
Subscription for two years
throughout Latin America.
Start with Mexico.
It's almost calm there.
Senors, don't worry.
This is the safest place
on all Mexican soil.
Post and telegraph never blow up.
We are valued and respected by all warring parties.
- Write.
Here in de Mexico
to the presidential palace
His Excellency the President
Mexican Republic
Alfred Caranzo.
Mr. President,
I came to your country to dance.
I ask you to help
the safety of my troupe.
Dot. With deep respect to you,
Anna Pavlova.
Senior.
Are you sure that this telegram
reach the addressee?
We live in a time when
no one is sure of anything.
Hello madam.
Good afternoon. My regards.
Who is Madame Pavlova here?
I am Pavlova.
Captain Fortis Francisco Romeo.
By personal order of the
President of the Republic of Mexico
I have been assigned to accompany you.
And ensure your personal safety
and your troupe during
your stay in our beautiful
and hospitable country.
You don't have to worry.
In Mexico they know how to
appreciate great artists like you.
Mister officer, are these
regular troops or rebels?
Believe me, señora, these are the
best soldiers of the Republic of Mexico.
Attention!
All seniors of Anna Pavlova
divine. Fire.
What could be more beautiful:
Third class carriages
third class hotel
and a third class audience.
♪ Moscow ♪
♪ golden-domed, ♪
♪ Ringing bells ♪
♪ Tsar cannon sovereign, ♪
♪ flavor of pies. ♪
♪ Candy-lambs, like
swans in a sleigh, ♪
♪ Hey, you stray horses, I hear
a song from the irradiation. ♪
♪ Gymnasium girls are ruddy ♪
♪ slightly drunk from the cold ♪

white snow off their heels. ♪
Anna!
Anna!
Monsieur d'André, she's gone mad!
Look what she's doing! - Anna!
Anna! Anna!
Do not touch me.
I'm flying.
Anna!
Welcome, madam Pavlova.
do me the honor
offer you a cup of coffee.
Yes, gentlemen.
Mr Governor is right.
Our coming here was a profound mistake.
That's what you think, Herr Steyer.
It would be a crime
on my part, señora,
let you perform
with his troupe in such a room.
The yellow plague is rampant in the city.
We are with you involuntarily
would create a hotbed of infection, señora.
But Mr Governor
the inhabitants of your city
gather in crowds in the squares.
They are there mourning their dead.
Mr Governor
give me the area for one evening.
Anna Pavlova,
our souls
warmed by your tenderness.
You have come here like a messiah.
At night we looked at the map.
We were looking for a country
where were you born.
She is far away, on the other side of the world.
Anna Pavlova,
daughter of Russia.
Our hands are stretched out
to you to touch her majesty.
May God keep you and may
He return you with his generosity
all that
that you are so generous
give to your loved ones.
Light,
warmth, joy and love of life.
Farewell, Anna Pavlova.
This is the best part of London.
Mister, come with me.
- I'm coming, ma'am.
I want to plant 8,000 tulips here.
“It will cost you dearly.
And not one less.
I understand, I will select the
best for you. Where do you want?
Over there on that lawn.
8 thousand tulips.
Beautiful, but very expensive.
Beauty will save the world.
Good words, very good.
And who said them?
One Russian man
in the forest
in one city
Understand. Who is the gardener?
- Not.
Writer.
You must think that he bought
tulips at a very low price, right?
Where? Madam, where are we going?
Faster, Agus.
Madam...
Victor, where is north?
Oh, I don't know. - Madam.
See the moss on the tree?
Yes. - This is the north.
Is there Russia? - No, madam.
There is my home. A little further down the building
but to the right is Russia.
Anna, let's go.
The tea is getting cold.
Anna?
I bought you all the newspapers in England.
But there's nothing new there.
Russia is still at war.
They write about some riots.
Don't be sad, Anna.
Let's have some tea.
Anna!
Victor, where are you? - Masha.
Revolution in Russia.
The king abdicated.
What? The revolution?
Where is Anna?
At the station, waiting for you. You are late.
Revolution in Russia...
Madam, what a wind!
Victor, you have to go back.
Contracts need to be terminated.
And go to Russia.
You will owe the whole world.
Life is not enough to pay.
What to do?
Fulfill contracts and dance.
Annushka.
Anna. - BUT? What?
What? - We arrived.
Where are we? - I do not know.
Where are we?
God...
The end of the world.
There is no earth.
One sand.
But sand is not fire.
We took the suitcases and continued on foot.
Dear madam. How strange it gets...
All your 8 thousand tulips
blossomed, but you are all gone and gone.
Who's here?!
Who's here?
Don't worry Mr Agus, it's me.
Well, how do you like our house, Seryozha?
America on the left
Europe on the right.
You are in the middle.
Swan pier.
You are not afraid that they
will they eat sooner or later?
They are vegetarians.
Yes?
Rare case.
Seryozha.
Well, how is our air?
Perfectly.
Ah, Anya, Anya, Anyushka,
let go of all this living creatures of the world
and go to Paris.
To the same Paris that
granted you an academic secret.
This is recognition, but not love.
Paris, Sergei Pavlovich, has always been and is,
and will be yours.
Let's drink to our new estate
in the name of the triumph of Russian ballet.
Let's drink to
Nijinsky's health.
God bless him to find himself.
For 8 years of ballet life
Nijinsky created not only his immortality,
but the whole era of ballet.
I was talking
with the best psychiatrists.
There is a chance.
I will save you.
But what about the troupe now without Nijinsky?
Do you want to know the truth?
There is no former troupe.
Serge Lifar and Serge Diaghilev.
Everyone is here.
And my dear Paris
devours in the night
ten geniuses.
No more geniuses?
Into the wall and out!
Annushka, don't you want to
victorious return to Paris?
You will have everything.
Troupe,
Fokin.
Me. That's who will always be there.
I don't want to and I can't.
Well, why can't you?!
I can't sign my
troupe's death warrant.
Russian season.
Russian season.
– Russian.. – Pancakes!
Hot pancakes!
Ask!
On prescription!
I allow myself to eat one.
No, no, madam. What do you! The Lord is with you.
You must be in shape.
Be thin and lean.
And I have nothing to lose. I eat everything myself.
My dear! My joy!
You are getting prettier every day, Anna.
Ask.
How do you do it?
You are beautiful and fresh...
Disarming talent!
Anna, honey.
How does your troupe grow?
Yes.
Sir.
Another panic.
This was to be expected.
We are on the brink of disaster.
Anna, please try.
look realistically at
what is happening.
Nobody wants to watch ballets anymore.
They run to the stock market.
This game excites them, not ballets
and theaters. America is in crisis.
This is a typhoon that will not spare us either.
Anna, Anna...
Disband the troupe.
We'll pay compensation,
send everyone home.
To you, I promise to
keep the same conditions.
You won't lose anything.
Anna, honey.
As before, you will remain
the highest paid
ballerina in America.
Anna, I'm afraid in Boston
and Philadelphia theaters will be empty.
Completely empty?
Almost empty.
So not empty.
I said almost!
Read the papers, Anna!
And finally understand...
- Yes, of course, he is right, dear.
Disband the troupe. At least for a while.
And then... - Shut up!
Jurek, you said "almost".
So there, where the halls will be empty,
I personally ask you not to pay,
troupe only!
Anna. My contract is not with the troupe,
and with you!
I won't... I don't want to listen to you!
Rather, you will become pointe shoes,
rather than disband my troupe!
All right, we're going to rehearse.
Work, girls, work.
You sometimes remember the war.
Anna, there are so many of you in this house. Out, out.
Look. You unwittingly
cause envy in others.
Misha, dear.
Are you satisfied with life?
Yes, Anna.
I have a school, beloved students. Everything is OK.
I am very pleased.
You know,
if you do not look at the shore,
then this house looks like bondage.
No, Annushka.
Not like that. - But as?
the scene? - I tried.
I need a troupe.
Big.
As in Maryinsky.
I'm tired of them, fed up with them.
Look, even Diaghilev
Almighty Diaghilev.
Your Diaghilev.
- Your Diaghilev.
Could not create a troupe.
Misha, Misha... Shall we go with me?
I saw your Don Quixote,
most beautiful sight.
Maul is real.
The rest, sorry...
And I?
You need an old chicket
young Fokin
and the stage of Maryinsk.
Cheers, lady.
Oh Misha...
Do you remember
the day I ran to you
spring.
It seems to me,
that I once lived
and in that former life everything was better.
Yes, Mishul, yes.
Including your arrival.
OK.
God.
You don't have to go to the movies.
No film, no painting, no photography.
Don't save yourself in the wrong dimensions.
You become Pavlova
when the will to glory arises,
legends are built. That's better.
Let's stick together. - We will.
Diaghilev is over.
Nijinsky in the hospital.
Morkin and I were transferred to ballet nannies.
You are the only one left.
You are in the saddle, as the Americans say.
Hold on, Annushka.
It's stuffy in here. Let's go outside.
How is your son?
Perfectly.
He dances better than me.
And the wife?
Thank you, OK.
How is Victor? - Thank you, OK.
Misha.
You know, I woke up
one night, I was scared.
Don't be stupid, Anya.
I thought that I would die
and forever stay in a foreign land.
We are small islands
scattered in the ocean.
But we have always remained part of the mainland.
It's an illusion, Misha.
We are not islands.
We are prisoners of our destiny.
We are nothing without our homeland.
You did something for Russia.
And we will be remembered
I'm sure.
Russia made me like this.
Who do I see? I'm very glad to see you,
Mr Yurek. - Hello.
Hello old man. - I am glad.
Madame Pavlova, Sunday Time is interested.
You have traveled all over the world.
Where would you like to live ultimately?
Somewhere in Russia.
New York Times, New York Times!
Madame Pavlova!
Madame Pavlova!
I'm sorry,
Madam Pavlova, I am a correspondent
New York Times. Sorry. What
could such a person wish for?
an outstanding ballerina, how
are you, being at the zenith of fame?
Dance until the last day.
Madame, I represent Maya Migeral,
let me know how you managed
to return the audience to the hall?
Gentlemen, but it's so simple.
You just need to really want to.
I remember you when you were still very young.
Ken Miller,
sorry madam pavlova. As I know,
Russia has brought you a lot of grief.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What could you say about this?
Never confuse gentlemen
Russia with the Directorate of the Imperial Theatre.
Madam, I would like...
You don't have to, please!
Other steamer in stock
I do not have.
This one is already sailing. So sorry
us gentlemen.
Mrs Pavlova,
What do you take home
from New York with you?
The inscription on the pediment of the main post office.
No snow, no rain, no storm
do not stop the American mail
in the performance of their duties.
It's about me.
Dear Serge Lifar, they say you are now the most
fashion dancer in Paris.
Unfortunately it's true.
Why, unfortunately?
I smoke, okay?
- Nothing, please.
So why unfortunately?
After all, glory
the chain in which
the fall count begins.
Have you ever thought
about it, dear Anna Pavlova?
I didn't have time for this.
Do you want some tea?
Please, real Russian tea.
She brewed it herself. Ask.
Thank you. - I ask you to.
Anna Pavlova.
Dear Anna Pavlova.
You do not notice the passage of time.
For now there are
two Pavlovs.
One real
another from legend.
I would be ready to kill the real Pavlova,
for the sake of preserving the former,
which drove me crazy.
Anna Pavlova,
you endlessly wander
somewhere: Then you are in Africa,
in the sands, then on some
abandoned island in Sweden.
I understand.
But take care of yourself. keep yourself
unattainable goddess of dancing.
You should not be touched by
a crowd of profane people who
understands nothing in the intricacies of ballet.
You are the only one.
Stay her.
Madame, teach me fouette, please.
Teach me fuete.
Girls, hurry back. You're crashing
the rehearsal, can you hear me girls?
Madam. - Do you hear me?
Madam, I'm sorry.
In one newspaper they wrote
that you teach us only
what you can do yourself.
What are you... That you almost
do not know the technique of dance.
I was ashamed
and sad to see and hear it.
But I was poked in the nose with this newspaper.
Show us the fuete.
- Please, show.
- Hush hush. I beg you girls.
Do you hear me? Take it easy.
Madam, I can't do anything about them.
These kids are absolutely insufferable.
But girls, dear, this is not ballet.
This is a technique.
And the ballet...
Ballet is not legs
it is the soul.
Girls, everyone. Looked pretty.
We went to rehearsal. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Series, I...
received a letter from Leningrad.
Letter? From whom?
It's signed by the lead artist...
our theatre.
They call me back.
Oh how worried
oh how worried she is.
Yes.
Cards can make you a fortune.
Dancing - never. - How much?
Soon The Hague
win faster.
Ugh you.
Wow, you won!
I won for the first time in my life! Four, really.
And ten. Truth!
Can you imagine? Sasha!
Sasha, I won, can you imagine? Sasha!
You need to make a wish right now.
In a year
I will perform on the stage of the Maryinsky Theatre.
May God help me. - Bravo.
Bravo ma'am, bravo!
Stop!
Stop, they tell you! Can't you see, right?
Excuse me. Hey, who's there?
What happened?
You can't go any further!
I have a lot of passengers, understand?
Where are you all? Where are you, Anna?
- What's happening?
Be careful, there are sharp stones here.
Be careful please.
Excuse me. - No need.
Well, we were lucky.
- You can't go any further.
The path is blurred.
Lord, nothing is impossible...
- There is a village nearby, you can spend the night.
I spend. - We'll go on foot.
Let's go to! - Follow me.
Think you're afraid of the water.
- All over me!
Ordinary rain.
Right, right.
Are you better?
I'm better.
What temperature?
- Doesn't matter.
Let's watch. - Not.
It is too early.
Did you take medicine?
Good.
What time is it now?
Half past one.
Lie down.
Go, really.
Good.
Go away, I'll get dressed.
I'm leaving.
Her Majesty the Queen
sent her personal doctor.
Doctor Clauson.
She asks you to take it.
I'm leaving.
Thermometer!
Go away. - Anna.
- Get out.
- Give me a thermometer.
I have 36.6.
Anna.
Well, why are you like this?
Go away.
Madame Pavlova does not agree to the operation.
But you are her husband, you must
persuade her. I am used to
agreeing with my wife on everything.
Mister d'Andre,
the situation is serious,
you must realize it.
I did everything in my power.
After the operation, she will not be able to dance.
And she understands this.
Mister d'Andre.
She will die.
Let me talk to your wife.
Anna!
Victor.
Anna, what are you doing?!
This is madness.
It is too early.
Can not be so.
Are you better?
Yes. How long until the show?
Now three. Plenty more time.
Try to sleep.
You'll wake up in an hour.
- I promise.
- Sleep.
- When will the car arrive?
The car will be at six.
Let him come at five.
- All right, he'll be here at five.
Here, have a drink.
Misha.
Can not be...
You...
