In this fascinating biopic, passionately dedicated to the magic of dancing, Loie Fuller attains the posthumous fame she deserves. Remarkable performances from singer Soko in the role of Loie Fuller and Lily-Rose Depp in the role of Isadora Duncan.

Synopsis

Nothing from Loie Fuller's past foretold that she would someday become a dancer at the Paris Opera, let alone a symbol of the Belle Époque. Even when facing the fear of permanent injury or blindness, the passionate Loie would keep on honing her art. Her meeting with Isadora Duncan, a young, talented and ambitious dancer, marked the beginning of her fall.
