About Giselle

Giselle’s world shatters when she, a peasant girl, learns her beloved Albrecht is a nobleman already promised to another. Heartbroken, she takes her own life and becomes one of the Wilis - vengeful spirits of betrayed women who force any man they encounter into a deadly, relentless dance. Consumed by guilt, Albrecht returns to Giselle’s grave, where he must confront the Wilis and the ghost of the woman he deceived. Can he escape their dance to the death, or is his fate already sealed?
