Description
Composer Tchaikovsky is so consumed by his art that his romantic attachments become irrational. He falls in love with and marries Nina, a hysterical nymphomaniac whom he is unable to satisfy, and struggles with his attraction to Count Anton Chiluvsky. As his personal life implodes, his public performance of Piano Concerto in B flat minor becomes a cue for flashbacks to a series of discomforting childhood events.
