Synopsis :
In Paris, circa 1825 - Hector Berlioz drops out of medical school to study music. He composes the 'Symphonie Fantastique' for an actress called Harriett Smithson whom he loves madly. His stubborn devotion touches Harriet who marries him, and they have a son. But Berlioz's string of failures take their toll and his marriage falls apart. At last, he finds happiness with Marie, a retired singer who has always loved him, but she dies of a heart attack.
