The Red Shoes

Summary :

Isabelle, a young girl with a pure heart, goes to Paris to try to fulfill her dream: to become an Étoile dancer.
Victor, a renowned choreographer of the Opera, has decided to embark on an insane project: to stage the accursed ballet "Les Souliers Rouges". The legend says that the devil has always haunted the corridors of the Opera about this ballet, and that there would have been hidden a pair of red ballerinas. These magical slippers carry a trap within them: "She who wears them will know fame but will have to renounce love, otherwise the curse will be terrible." "
Victor tirelessly searches for his heroine and as in Cinderella, the ballerinas choose their Star: the lovely Isabelle… Ballet knows its glory. Yet Victor knows that the devil will not let him experience success so easily.
Ben, a young and handsome journalist, falls in love with Isabelle and puts her, despite himself, to the test…
