Interweaving documentary and fiction this film offers a glimpse into the life of the composer Robert Schumann through his chamber music. Movements drawn from his Quartet in A Major, Op. 41 no. 3 and Quartet in A Minor, Op. 41 no. 1, set the stage for the development of a lavish fresco, freely inspired by the life of the composer, one of the leading figures of Romanticism. Dancers and actors move to an original choreography with an imaginary setting.
