Documentary on Serge Lifar's visit to Paris in conjunction with the Paris Opéra Ballet's May 1986 revival of his ballet Les mirages (music: Henri Sauguet; libretto: Lifar and A. M. Cassandre; scenery/costumes: Cassandre). Lifar is seen on the street, at Maxim's restaurant, and at the Paris Opéra, where he attends a dress rehearsal of the ballet.
