"Once upon a time, not too long ago, in a city quite like your own, a circus came to town..."
and that's when the trouble began.
Coppelia, a human-sized puppet and the star of the traveling Circus Reverie, fell in love with a human woman. Every night, she saw her in the audience, and soon, she could think of no one else.

‘Alas!’ She thought to herself, ‘If only life were like the stories we performed on stage! If I had a fairy godmother, I could ask her to make me into a real girl...
I would do anything to be human!’
"Anything, you say...?"
