Alexander Godunov - premier of the Bolshoi Theater, then a scandalous defector and the highest paid soloist of America Ballet Theater. His short life flashed at such a limit of feelings, contained so many incredible events that the most exuberant fantasy of soap opera scriptwriters fades before it. In the biography of an ordinary boy from a modest family of Soviet engineers, everything came together: phenomenal success on the best ballet stages in the world, conquering Hollywood and in the prime of his life - «natural» death, similar to murder. He had affairs with the most beautiful women, including the movie star Jacqueline Bisset, but none of them replaced his wife Mila. Godunov stayed in the United States in 1979, and his wife returned to the USSR. The family drama was performed at the highest level, including the presidents of the United States and the USSR, the UN, the State Department and the KGB.
