Valentine, a prodigious "Prima Ballerina" suffers an accident that results in her deafness. Without music in her life, Valentine’s purpose seems to fade away. Her father, the Ballet Master, Michel, hires a professional instructor, Reneé, specialized in teaching the deaf, who trains Valentine to feel the vibrations of sound. Yet, despite various attempts, Valentine remains unable to dance as she once did. As she trains by herself in a studio, she miraculously hears the faint sound of music attached to a dancing silhouette that resembles herself.

Valentine follows this shadow in a journey where reality, memories, and fantasy all mesh together in the hopes of bringing dance back into her life. Once Valentine hits rock bottom, arriving literally to “darkness”, a place where she can’t neither see nor hear… finding the music within herself becomes her only hope, and guided by both the lessons of Reneé and her own love for dancing, Valentine discovers the “land of dreams” where sound and music become one with her, and the ballerina is able to dance forever, again.
