Synopsis

August 1910. Devastated by the discovery that his beloved wife Alma is having a passionate affair with architect Walter Gropius, Gustav Mahler travels to Holland to consult with Sigmund Freud. As their conversation stretches into the night, Mahler vividly recounts his seduction of Alma, the beautiful darling of Vienna’s arts scene, their marriage, their children, and Alma’s infidelity, which Freud gradually helps
him understand. Next day, the two great men go their separate ways. Overjoyed with what he sees as his cure, Mahler rejoins Alma, but six months later he is taken seriously and dies, leaving her free to marry Gropius.
