Summaries

A film about a classical composer who goes insane.

Impassioned young composer Eliseo Montalbán (Benjamín Vicuña) is struggling to finish his "Macabre Rhapsody." But his traumatic childhood, in which he witnessed the rape and murder of his sister, poses huge obstacles to his creativity and mental well-being. When tragedy revisits him, Eliseo spends time in a mental institution. Years later, an intrigued music student, Ricardo Coppa (Gastón Pauls), tracks the composer down to beg forgiveness for plagiarizing his symphony.—Rotten Tomatoes
