Following his wife's candid confession, a physician is summoned to attend a dying patient. That night he encounters an old friend, a pianist, who reveals a secretive ball where the doctor is slated to perform. The story adapts Arthur Schnitzler's novel “Traumnovelle” (“Rhapsody: A Dream Novel”), which later inspired the film Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
