The movie is about two best friends, Félicie and Victor, who hatch a plan to escape from their rural orphanage in 19th-century France. Félicie dreams of becoming a ballerina, while Victor wants to use his brainpower to invent things. After busting out, Félicie makes her way to the Paris Opera where she joins a class of highly-trained dancers who are auditioning for the lead in a production of “The Nutcracker.”
