New York, a lavish party. The host is the famous writer Truman Capote, whose real name is actually Streckfuß. Among the guests are celebrities, drag queens and ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev. When the party ends, only three people remain: Capote, Nureyev and a dog that was left behind. Nobody wants the dog – until it licks Nureyev on the face. The dancer takes pity on it and takes the dog with him.

From now on, the two are inseparable. Solor, as Nureyev calls the dog, accompanies him to rehearsals and performances. While the dancers perform their pirouettes and ballerinas float across the stage and argue with the strict ballet mistress Marika about the right training, Solor rests on a precious cushion and watches. In quiet hours at home, the dog patiently listens to Nureyev’s stories Nothing lasts forever, though: when Nureyev falls seriously ill, Marika takes care of him and the dog. She and the dog – two worlds that don’t immediately find common ground. And yet, when Nureyev dies, he leaves the dog to her, of all people.

Life together proves to be a challenge. Solor growls, bites, runs away, and when Marika, in desperation, asks Nureyev’s acquaintances for help, none of them want to take the dog. Finally, Marika considers dropping Solor off at the animal shelter.

Then, one magical night, everything changes. She sees the dog dancing on the balcony. With elegance, expression – and a touch of magic. Fascinated, she watches him. And for the first time, she sees not just a dog, but something unique. It is at this moment that she realizes: parting with Solor would also mean losing Nureyev and the memory of him. She keeps the dog.

Little by little, the human and the animal grow to trust each other, and Marika begins to like the dog. Both of them relax on long walks in Paris, and Marika also begins to soften during rehearsals and on stage, showing less rigor and more emotion. She realizes that true art comes not from blind submission, but from a balance of discipline and inner beauty.

The story is accompanied by a mysterious girl who seems to walk between worlds. Sometimes she is here, sometimes there, but in any case she is part of Solor’s story, a story about friendship, loss and longing.
