Carefree village girl Giselle goes mad and dies of a broken heart when her peasant lover Albercht is unmasked as a nobleman who is betrothed to another.  In Act 2 of the ballet, when Albercht visits her grave, he finds the spirits of other maidens who died before their wedding day (the Wilis) dancing among the graves in the moonlight.  Any man who sees the Wilis dancing is doomed to dance until he dies from exhaustion, but Giselle’s spirit and everlasting love for Albercht saves him from death.
