The Devils |
| Not a biography of Tchaikovsky, but rather looking at the people round Tchaikovsky (the music lovers). Tchaikovsky cannot handle the contradictions in his life and turns his haunted thoughts into music. The music lovers twist his music into their own fantasies, and drag Tchaikovsky down to their own image of him. The film is packed with images and excitement, with the life story providing a common link. Music, gay forbidden love, a mother dying of cholera, a sponsor who never wants to meet Tchaikovsky and who suddenly ended the sponsorship, critical failure and death by cholera, just like his mother.
