The story follows Vicky Page, a rising ballerina caught between two powerful men: Boris Lermontov, a cold, demanding impresario who believes an artist must renounce life to achieve greatness, and Julian Craster, a composer who offers her human love. This central conflict mirrors the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale that serves as the film’s centerpiece.
