Hilarion, having wandered into the forest, is forced by Myrtha and the Wilis to dance to his death. The Wilis shown here are quite scary, thanks in part to the camera work. Myrtha's merciless expression is also a sight to see. After Hilarion is thrown into the lake, Albrecht is summoned, but Giselle sends him over to her grave to protect him. Myrtha and the WIlis flinch at the power of her love, or from the cross the lovers make. Following this is the famous PDD.
Myrtha: Marianela Nunez
Hilarion: Martin Harvey
