A film by Frederick Wiseman following the ins and outs of 7 ballets by the Paris Opera Ballet.
Emma is about to be the new ballerina. But something upsets her. A secret. A secret liable to undermine what she has spent a whole life on.
Paris Opera Ballet Master and choreographer Patrice Bart plunges into the Opera's past and brings Degas' famous statuette to life. From the rehearsal rooms to the Cabaret du Chat Noir, the ballet conjures up a colourful era and the lively backstage world of a theatre.
