Synopsis
After 10 years together George Sand is out to destroy her ex-lover, composer and court pianist Frédéric Chopin. As revolution breaks in France, 1848, Chopin is reduced to making a living as a piano teacher. When Sand publishes a satirical novel that portrays him as a seducer of young girls, his pupils are withdrawn. Taking the advice of his former student, Jane Stirling, Chopin travels with her to London. A Scottish heiress, Sterling orchestrates concerts and interest among high society and royalty.
When Sand’s novel is translated into English Chopin is shunned by London society and forced to Scotland to live off the Stirling fortune. Sand writes to Chopin in Scotland informing him that she has burnt all his manuscripts. Stirling hastily sets about re-scoring Chopin's work. She pursues marriage with Chopin but he rebuffs her, he still loves Sand.
Fleeing back to London he quickly sinks into poverty and illness. He collapses at, what is to be, his final concert. Returning to Paris under doctors orders Chopin is confronted by Sand on his deathbed. Against the advice of her family, Sterling travels to Paris finding Chopin dying, he finally concedes his love to her in his final breaths.
