abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian countryside. He relishes being

While there, Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious

finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local
priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison

the dead. Felix wanted a living funeral, in which anyone who ever heard

Theatre des Champs-Elysees, Igor Stravinsky premieres his Rite of
Spring. Coco attends the premiere and is mesmerized, but the revolutionary
work is too modern, too radical: the enraged audience boos and jeers.
A near riot ensues and Stravinsky is inconsolable. Seven year later,
after Boy Capel's untimely death, Coco meets Stravinsky again. The attraction
between them is immediate and electric. And so a passionate, intense
love affair between two creative giants begins. Directed by Jan Kounen.
