Besides aiming to reveal "how the company functions as an organic whole", the film follows the production of seven ballets by the Paris Opera Ballet. The ballets featured are: Genus (Wayne McGregor); La maison de Bernarda (Mats Ek); Le songe de Médée (Angelin Preljocaj); Paquita (Pierre Lacotte, after Joseph Mazilier and Marius Petipa); Orpheus und Eurydike (Pina Bausch); Roméo et Juliette (Berlioz) (Sasha Waltz); The Nutcracker (Rudolf Nureyev version)
The film proceeds without commentary, and there are no voiceovers
