Film Synopsis
In the mid-19th century, the wealthy Caroline Sayn finds herself married against her will to the Russian general Wittgenstein. One day, she meets the composer Franz Liszt. Having fallen in love with the composer, Caroline applies to the Pope to have her marriage annulled. But the request is turned down and Franz increasingly shows less interest in her.
