The most compelling story of love, betrayal and forgiveness in classical ballet. Thanks to Tchaikovsky's sensational score and the incredibly rich imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane, Swan Lake on the big screen becomes an exceptionally beautiful viewing experience of this ultimate ballet classic.

When Prince Siegfried goes hunting, he accidentally comes across a flock of swans. When one of the swans transforms into a beautiful woman, Odette, he is enraptured. But she is trapped by a curse that allows her to only take on her human form at night. Von Rothbart, who has cast a spell on Odette, tricks the prince into declaring his love for the identical Odile, thereby breaking his promise to Odette. Now that Odette is doomed to remain a swan forever, there is only one way for her to break the magician's curse.
