DrameRomance

Issu d’une famille modeste, Paul Boray est un jeune violoniste doué et ambitieux qui rencontre des difficultés à percer. Un soir, il est invité à une réception mondaine donnée par Helen Wright. Femme fortunée et mécène de jeunes artistes, Helen est mariée à un homme d'âge mûr, Victor, qui ferme les yeux sur les infidélités de sa femme. Fascinée par la personnalité de Paul, Helen tente de se rapprocher du jeune violoniste, mais il rejette ses avances. Elle l’aide néanmoins à rencontrer des personnes influentes dans le monde musical afin qu’il réussisse et sa carrière prend enfin de l’essor. Paul répond finalement aux avances de son mécène et les deux amants connaissent un amour passionné. Inquiète de leur relation, la mère de Paul va s’opposer ouvertement à leur liaison. Une autre fois Helen aperçoit dans un bar Paul en compagnie d’une amie d’enfance, amoureuse également de lui. Après une violente scène de jalousie, Helen se pose des questions sur leur relation ...
