Synopsis Leap! (Ballerina) (2016) In the 1880s, FA©licie, a poor orphan girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina, but lacks formal training, runs away from her orphanage in rural Brittany with her best friend, Victor, a young inventor. Together they go to beautiful Paris, but they soon become separated, and Victor becomes an office boy in Gustave Eiffel's workshop. FA©licie finds her way to the Paris Opera, where the guard catches her trespassing. She is rescued by a mysterious cleaner with a limp, Odette, who agrees to let FA©licie stay with her until she gets on her feet. Odette works for both the Opera and for the cruel and imperious RA©gine Le Haut, a wealthy restaurant owner. While helping Odette clean, FA©licie spies Regine's daughter, Camille, practicing ballet. Camille sees FA©licie, insults her, and throws FA©licie's treasured music box out of the window, breaking it. As FA©licie takes it to Victor for repair, she intercepts the postman who brings a letter from the Opera admitting Camille to the celebrated school of the Paris Opera Ballet; in her anger, she hides the letter and decides to assume Camille's identity to get into the school and pursue her dream, while also getting back at Camille..
