How does a dancer bounce back from such a tragic event?
A RESILIENT MAN charts the physical and mental journey back from the brink of STEVEN MCRAE, a famous principal dancer at the Royal Ballet of London. In the middle of a show, he is catastrophically injured, breaking his Achilles tendon. He is at the height of his career, a career that was dramatically out on hold. Will Steven ever be able to dance again? For one year, director Carrel filmed the return of Steven to the stage and his training to recover alongside his engagement for mental health within the dance world. At 35 years old, he either recovers or his career is over. That's how it is in the world of ballet.
