This wonderful dance short mixes high quality live action dancing with excellently conceived and executed animation backgrounds. The basic story is that a ballerina collapses from fatigue/exhaustion and we follow her dream that follows. There are about four acts/sections which have their own flavor of dancing and music. I don't remember who the ballerina is anymore, she was well known and respected in her day. The score is lush and romantic, and fully supports and leads the motion on screen. I have never seen a better dance film, and will always treasure my memory of this one. I hope it shows up somewhere online or on DVD someday, I can't find it anywhere.
