Summary
At the music academy of Vienna, Sophie and Elisa are both in love with
their teacher, the tenor Eric Walter. But Eric has only one true
love, his wife Marie. A famous opera singer, Marie is more
preoccupied with her career than her marriage and spends most of her
time apart from her husband. Eric tries to hide his grief by
consoling himself with the sensual charms of Sophie and the more
romantic Elisa until Marie’s return...
