Based on the director’s personal experience, Le Trac documents a world-class ballet company’s European tour. The dancer’s self-assurance and satisfaction is evident in his demeanor when taking a bow with his fellow dancers. But the morning after reality will sink in as he again must prepare himself for another performance. The panic that we all feel when placed in a situation of extreme stress is taken to another level by elite dancers and athletes. This is one man’s story of facing his overwhelming fear of failing.
