The love tribulations of composer Frédéric Chopin are illustrated through his tunes.

In Warsaw, where Chopin tries to win the heart of his idol, the famous singer Sonja Radkowska, but she betrays him by handing him over to the chief of the Russian police in town. His youth sweetheart Mariolka, comes to the rescue and together they escape to Paris. Then, Chopin meets the writer George Sand and falls in love again. But as an old gypsy once told him, his love life was doomed to be an unhappy one. And so, his love for Sand also leads to disappointment. Finally, Chopin dies in the arms of Mariolka, who stayed true to him till the end.—Ulf Kjell Gür
