In questo drama classico, Vicky Page è un'aspirante ballerina divisa tra la sua dedizione alla danza e il suo desiderio di amare. Mentre il suo imperioso istruttore, Boris Lermontov, le chiede di dimenticare tutto tranne il balletto, Vicky inizia a innamorarsi del giovane e affascinante compositore Julian Craster. Alla fine, Vicky, sotto grande stress emotivo, deve scegliere di perseguire la sua arte o la sua storia d'amore, una decisione che porta gravi conseguenze.
