Swan Lake tells the story of Odette, queen of swans, who along with other young, innocent girls is enchanted by the evil wizard Rothbart. They live as swans and assume their human forms only around midnight. Only true love can break the spell. She meets Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with the beautiful Odette. Rothbart tries to come between the lovers through his daughter Odile, who looks like Odette in two drops of water.
