Synopsis
Who is this Polish composer transcending the power of music? Who is this star who turns every Parisian head? They call him Chopin. He is the talk of the town—the most romantic figure of decadent Parisian nights. When his lungs begin to bleed, Chopin knows his days are numbered. Composing becomes his only obsession, the ticking clock driving him to revolutionize music.
