Victoria Page, a gifted young ballerina, is torn between her devotion to dance and her love for a young composer. The imperious ballet impresario demands her total dedication to art, while the composer wants her to leave the stage. Her impossible choice drives her toward tragedy as the enchanted red shoes take on a sinister life of their own.
