Tschaikowsky - Genie und Wahnsinn (1971)
Der junge russische Komponist Peter Tschaikowsky führt zusammen mit seinem Freund Graf Anton Schiluwsky ein ausschweifendes Leben. Die Aufführung seines ersten Klavierkonzerts macht Tschaikowsky schlagartig berühmt und zwei Frauen buhlen um seine Gunst: Die gönnerhafte Witwe Nadeschda von Meck, die nur über Briefe mit ihm in Kontakt tritt, und die nymphomanische Antonia Milukowa, die sich Hals über Kopf in ihn verliebt. Trotz seiner homosexuellen Veranlagung willigt er ein, Antonia zu heiraten. Doch die Ehesteht unter keinem guten Stern und stürzt Tschaikowsky in eine tiefe Krise …
