In the enchantment suspended on the banks of the river, a man recalls from oblivion a story of passion where musicians, lovers, spies and fighters, following the notes of Tchaikovsky’s three piano and orchestra concerts, travel a road of love and death. «I’m here, on the bed, with my hands clasped behind my nape, the window open on the village, in the immense night of the plain that annihilates it, and I can’t help but agree with Proust. The only engine of my life today is memory».
