The film opens by introducing Eve Macarro, a young woman whose childhood was shattered when her father was killed. As we learn, her father had once belonged to a secret assassin society of the Ruska Roma. After his death, Eve is drawn into the brutal underworld: she is taken under the wing of the organization and trained as both a ballerina and an assassin — a strange dual identity that combines grace and deadly skill.

Over the years, Eve endures grueling training, learning dance, martial arts, weapons, and how to survive in a world of violence. Her childhood innocence is replaced by a dangerous discipline. As the film begins proper, we meet her as a hardened but elegant killer: beautiful, poised, and lethal.

The turning point comes when Eve discovers evidence connecting one of the assassins she sees to her father’s murder. This revelation turns her mission from one of loyalty to vengeance. Driven by grief and a desire for justice, she begins hunting down members of the secret society responsible for her loss.

As her path of vengeance intensifies, the film ventures into dark, violent territory — stylized action sequences, intense combat, and a sense of relentlessness that defines the later acts. Some sequences have been praised for their creative brutality, choreography, and cinematic tension, evoking the signature style of the larger universe the film belongs to.

But it’s not just a standard revenge tale. The film also explores the horror of what it takes to survive in that world: how Eve’s training and transformation cost her innocence, how trust becomes dangerous, and how fighting for revenge can consume identity. Her journey raises questions about vengeance, identity, and whether redemption is possible once one has walked too far into darkness.

In the climax, Eve confronts the leaders of the organization responsible for her father’s death — a showdown mixing ballet-like precision and brutal violence. The film juxtaposes beauty and brutality, dance and death, creating an uneasy but compelling atmosphere. By the end, Eve stands transformed: she has exacted her revenge, but not without cost. She emerges a survivor — strong, scarred, changed.

While the plot echoes familiar themes — vengeance, loss, betrayal — Ballerina gives them a fresh spin, combining the elegance of ballet with the cold cruelty of assassins. It invites the viewer not only to root for Eve’s revenge, but also to reflect on what is sacrificed on the path to justice.
