Various musicians and singers of many nationalities led by Hungarian conductor Zoltan Szanto (Niels Arestrup) are gathering in Paris for a new opera performance to celebrate the new Europe. He begins a fling with Karin Anderson (Glenn Close), the star of the show. He has to navigate the jealousy, ambitions, bureaucracy, former communists, national rivalries, and union regulations.
There are some funny bits with the story background. All the chaos has some fun. The romantic plot is a little flat and the drama comes out of nowhere. I didn't realize that he was married. Karin gets hot and cold for unforeseeable reasons. I do like Glenn Close's performance but it can be abrupt. The script should spend a little more time ironing out the drama in the relationship. I don't know much about the music and I don't care that much about it either.
