filmed at Freed Factory in London and at Dutch National Ballet studios, the 2 minutes short film shows very quickly the process of making the pointe shoe by the shoe-master and the process of unmaking the shoe from the ballerina before she will wear it. The music is Paganini's. Film created by Altin Kaftira, dancer with Dutch National Ballet
