Un vieux compositeur allemand est reçu à Rome, appelé par le roi pour lui composer huit nocturnes. Mais le souvenir de sa femme morte dans cette ville des années auparavant, auquel s’ajoutent les fantômes de la guerre pendant laquelle il naquit, l’empêchent de composer quoi que soit. Il voit maintenant que la Ville éternelle aura été sa dernière destination sur cette terre, le visage de sa femme bien-aimée et la musique de Mozart les dernières joies de sa vie — qu’il a tant aimée malgré les intempéries.
An old German composer is welcomed in Rome as he has been called upon to write eight nocturnal pieces for the King. However, distracted by the memory of his late wife who died in this very city years before and by ghosts of the war during which he was born, he finds himself unable to compose anything whatsoever. He knows now that the Eternal City will be his final destination on Earth, the face of his beloved wife and the music of Mozart his last joys in life — a life he loved so much in spite of its dissoluteness.
