Acrobat

A documentary on Yves Saint-Laurent and the legendary fashion designer's final show.

In this deeply moving, award-winning French documentary, a family reflects on the murder of their 29-year-old son and tries to move beyond feelings of hatred and revenge.

Fabrice Champion was an internationally recognized trapeze artist. During a rehearsal, he became quadriplegic following a collision in flight. For years, Fabrice tried different therapies. While teaching in the National Circus Schools, he met Matias and Alexandre, two acrobatic students. Together, they invented the first "tetra-acrobatic" choreographies. For Fabrice, it was the beginning of a new way to live with his paralysis. For Alexandre and Matias, it was the beginning of a new approach to their discipline.

As Yves Saint Laurent, one of the greatest Parisian haute couture designers, draws the sketches for his final collection, behind the scenes, Pierre Bergé manages a series of events to celebrate the fashion icon as a modern myth.
