The story is about a man and his surrender to love. The woman in the film provides inspiration for him to take a step into his heart and open up to love freely. In the beginning, the man’s energy is inward, expressing an internal emotional wound and the vast home represents the isolation and emptiness that he feels. As the woman appears, he begins to open up, physically and emotionally, until he finally finds freedom in his expression of love.

Danced in the American Smooth Style of Viennese Waltz, this dance style is contemporary but rooted in the traditional style of Viennese Waltz Ballroom. In this evolved style of dance there is an interchange of the lead-follow roles where sometimes the woman leads and sometimes the man. 

In this particular dance sequence, the characters dance in the ballroom of a Chateau and partner together to embody the dance of life while expressing the sentiment of timeless love.
