-Why do you live?
Don't know why, but it must.
Lermontov knew that he would not just be content with survival, he wanted to create, to create a great dancer - Victoria Page. All those feelings he repressed and ignored shined on this goal, poured into Vicky. He wanted her to be just like himself, only dancing, just dancing. He put on her red dancing shoes, and since then, all other meanings have disappeared, all other colors have lost their luster, except red, except dance.
It was Klast who took it off. The moment when the knot of death is unraveled is also the moment when life is lost. So, LOVE, the only key to get rid of this fate, what's the point? Everything is doomed, everything is irreversible.
When Vicky dresses up for the party, she doesn't think that Lermontov's note will change his life. The most beautiful chapter of her life begins when she steps into an unknown deserted garden in Monte Carlo. It also ends here. A circle that can't escape, but can't be better.
"I gotta score my ballet."
"I guess that's mine too."
It's ours, our ballet, our splendour, our life.
