Aspiring ballerina Moira Shearer gets her big break when an influential director of a company hires her for the lead in his new production. His demand for absolute loyalty to her craft leads to her successful debut, but when she falls in love with the young orchestra director they have a falling out. The central ballet is a surrealist fantasy with brilliant colors and set design, however it is bookended by a rather dull melodrama and relationships that lack any real chemistry.
