Attention, dancers.
The show will begin
in 20 minutes.
All patrons:
please take your seats.
The orchestra is ready.
And so are the artists.
The show will begin shortly.
- May I have your autograph?
- Of course.
Why do you need his autograph?
All you need is for him
to look into your eyes.
Girls, let us through, please!
Mama, I want a photo with him!
When Sergei was born,
I remember
to check for defects
in the joints.
She spread his legs apart
the normal amount,
but they just kept
spreading apart.
The nurse got scared.
She wasn't expecting that.
He was flexible from birth.
In Kherson,
the situation
was not very promising.
I was always
thinking about his future.
And now
for the third-place award.
Sergei Polunin.
Boys first have to do
gymnastics.
Then the trainer says
what's next.
Ballet or more gymnastics.
I knew it had to be ballet.
I just had this gut feeling
that this was the right
decision, and it was.
He was little, playful.
He didn't yet understand
why he was here.
He was long,
flexible, strong.
But he had a problem.
We had to redo his muscles.
He had the muscles
of a gymnast,
and for ballet, they need
to be long, classical-looking.
Galina lvanovna was the one
that made him fall in love
with dancing.
Watching his shows
at the school...
I remember
I had tears in my eyes
when my little crumb
came out onstage
and began to improvise a ballet.
In Kherson,
we spent a lot of time
together.
We enjoyed the outdoors,
went to the beach,
wrestled, and fooled around.
I refused to believe
we were going to be separated.
I wanted him
to accomplish something...
So that he could live
a better life than we did.
The choreographic school
in Kiev
was the best school
in the Ukraine.
But to study in that school,
it was impossible,
because it was very expensive.
Turns out Dad
is the breadwinner,
and to enable Sergei
to go to the school in Kiev,
Grandma and I drew straws
Grandma left for Greece,
and I left for Portugal.
Galina stayed with Sergei.
Vlad went in one direction
and you the other.
Yes.
That enabled them
to pay Sergei's tuition.
Assemble and then relev.
Can you do it,
or are you scared?
I'm not scared.
Well, then!
It's okay if it's
not right at first.
Just practice!
Sergei, what was that?
Don't try too hard!
You should be natural.
All I had were his problems,
his school, his practices...
Do it again!
His homework,
tailoring for him.
I had no life of my own in Kiev.
Higher!
See, that's it!
That's it!
In Portugal,
I met some Germans,
and I worked as their gardener.
All the money I earned,
I sent to Galina.
of an aged grandmother.
It was so difficult,
morally and physically.
I felt so sorry for myself.
We clearly had a team.
And this little boy
was our hope.
Sergei was accepted into
the Kiev Choreographic School.
In the same year,
he won second place
at the National
Ballet Competition.
Sergei, what are you
passionate about?
I have a lot of passions,
but my favorite is dancing.
I want my dancing
to give people joy.
I want my figure
to be more beautiful.
To get skinnier
so that it's pleasant
to look at me.
To be the best
so that I am remembered.
After a couple of years
in that school,
he was already the best student
in his class.
But I wanted to make sure
I then realized
that it would be much better
for him to study abroad.
I took photos, made a video,
and mailed it all.
We got the invitation
for an audition.
So we went.
Sergei took out the camera
and filmed.
We laughed a lot!
Mom, are you filming the deer?
When we arrived
at the Royal School,
there were a lot of children.
He auditioned,
then a teacher came out
and said
to expect the results
that Monday.
and we stopped waiting.
Serezha is ready to eat.
But then we received
a letter saying,
to hear that he got in.
But...
Complications began
with my visa.
I could have stayed illegally,
but it would have compromised
the status
of Sergei's documents.
I didn't want to risk it.
Being far away, you lose
familiarity with each other.
When Sergei went to London,
I didn't see him for six years.
Our family practically
separated by itself.
Everybody parted
like ships at sea.
He didn't know a word
in English.
It was really hard
to let him go, to say good-bye.
That was my ultimate sacrifice.
I didn't know what to do
without him.
After he was gone,
I couldn't put myself together
for a whole year.
Sergei, is that
one of our T-shirts'?
- No!
- Oh, Sergei!
After Sergei's
first year there,
the divorce happened.
Sergei called me in Portugal
and, with a certain pity
toward me, started asking,
"How are you?
How are things going?"
I couldn't tell him about it.
Then I found out
that he already knew.
I asked Sergei, and he said,
"Please don't come.
when you watch me dance."
It was hard
for me to get a visa,
being from
So we never went.
There was discussion
of partying at clubs,
his skipping of rehearsals,
and purchasing a tattoo salon.
When I found out
Sergei had eight tattoos,
I almost lost consciousness,
honestly.
Polunin said that,
"I don't have enough friends
and parties,
and sometimes
such things are important."
I didn't know
about his tweets.
Only when the bad press
started,
then I saw what he was doing.
He told me, "Don't worry.
Everythings good."
Well, it wasn't good.
But that's what he said.
He was clearly missing
his family.
That was our mistake.
Ukrainian-born dancer
Sergei Polunin
was given the name
"the bad boy of ballet"
after his scandalous departure
from the Royal Ballet of London.
Ladies and gentlemen...
We are excited
to bring you our newest show...
"Big Ballet"!
Our first contestant
is Sergei Polunin.
Sergei recently left London
for Moscow.
Did you know Sergei
is a real star in London?
The papers are constantly
writing about him!
From London to Moscow
especially for this show,
Sergei Polunin.
Vladimir,
your verdict, please.
- Ten.
- Thank you.
Azzari?
- Ten.
- Thank you.
- Ten.
- Thank you!
- Vladymir?
- Ten.
A perfect performance!
I see scars on your body.
These scars are not real,
so what are they for?
They are tattoos.
I get that.
But Why'd you get so many?
What's this say?
- "Dirty Money."
- Why?
I like the song.
Whose song is it?
P. Diddy.
Recently, Sergei won
the "Big Ballet" competition,
becoming a name
in his new homeland.
Sergei is loved
by the people.
He has so much going for him
as a dancer-
his jump, his charisma,
his physique.
In our modern-day ballet,
he is exceptional.
Igor showed up
at just the right time.
