The true story of ballerina Margot Fonteyn and international diplomat Tito Arias is a fascinating tale of political intrigue and undying passion.

When they first met, she was an unknown dancer, and he was the first son of Panama who was studying law at Cambridge. Sixteen years later they met again. She was a world-renowned ballerina, and he was a married international diplomat. Such began the romance of Margot Fonteyn and Roberto ”Tito” Arias – a love story that would transcend fame, infidelities, an attempted coup d”état backed by Fidel Castro, and five close-range shots that left him permanently paralyzed. Mercedes Arias, the niece of Tito and Margot, delves into the untold past and uncovers found footage, letters, photos and accounts from Fonteyn”s autobiography that reveal a fascinating real-life tale of political intrigue and undying passion.
