About this film+

A young ballerina is torn between her love for a composer and her obsession with becoming a great dancer. The film explores the idea that high art requires total sacrifice from those who pursue it. The screen is filled with saturated Technicolor reds and dreamy stage lighting that creates a surreal feeling.
