Death in Venice

Composer Gustav von Aschenbach travels to Venice for rest, due to serious health concerns. There, he becomes obsessed with the stunning beauty of an adolescent Polish boy named Tadzio who is staying with his family at the same Grand Hôtel des Bains on the Lido as Aschenbach. In a visually stunning and poignant exploration of unrequited love, obsession, and the power of art to transcend life, Death in Venice follows the tragic descent into madness and death that unfolds when Aschenbach's fixation with Tadzio threatens to consume him.
