Focusing on Tchaikovsky's reputed homosexuality, it tells the story of his musical life refracted through his childhood memories of the violent death of his mother, under treatment for cholera by quack physicians, and through his frustrated marriage to Antonina Milyukova.
The film employs scenes of cruelty, violence and sexuality in a way that is simultaneously graphic, camp and arch, in order to represent Tchaikovsky's supposed mental anguish and instability.

A young woman named Antonina Milyukova wrote Tchaikovsky a letter declaring her love for him.
The composer spurned her at first, but then reconsidered his options; since a prolonged courtship could serve no real purpose, they were married within a few months.
Although he and Antonina were separated, she would not consent to a divorce, and he dreaded the damage that would occur if she were to reveal his secret.

As with most concerti, the piece is in three movements, the first and last quick, the second slow:
The piece was written in 1878 in Clarens, a Swiss resort on the shores of Lake Geneva where Tchaikovsky had gone to recover from the depression brought on by his disastrous marriage to Antonina Ivanovna Milyukova (Tchaikovsky was homosexual, and had only married Milyukova out of a sense of duty).
Tchaikovsky was accompanied there by his composition pupil, the violinist Yosif Kotek, and the two played works for violin and piano together, which may have been the catalyst for the composition of the concerto.

For the next few years, Tchaikovsky was miserable, as his wife refused to agree to a divorce and occasionally threatened to reveal his secret.
In 1881, Antonina gave birth to a child that was obviously not the composer's, and Tchaikovsky finally had safe grounds for divorce.
Most of the output from this period is of poor quality, lacking the emotional sincerity or compelling lyricism that we associate so strongly with this composer.

Today, most relationship experts refer to this kind of behavior as what they call a "bad sign," but in Tchaikovsky's mind, pressure from Antonina was multiplied by his aging father's growing insistence that he find a nice girl and settle down.
Finally, he acceded to the marriage -- but not before telling his bride that he would never live up to her expectations of a husband.
Eventually they split, and as proof that Antonina's intellectual prowess was about as formidable as her emotional health, just when she was about to sign a deal for a 10,000-ruble alimony payment, she let slip that she'd had a child since their separation.

But the mentally fragile Antonina was to haunt him for the rest of his days, not least by flmailing him with regular threats of exposure and disgrace unless he came up with more money.
Such was the grief Antonina was causing him--she threatened to tell a friend in the police of his illegal sexual habits, and even suggested that they get back together--that Tchaikovsky developed a frantic urge to flee not just Moscow, but his beloved Russia itself.
Amid the usual critical indifference, the rapturous response of his adoring public did little to lift the composer's spirits at the end of an unhappy autumn, soured by the abrupt end of relations with his treasured patron, Nadezhda von Meck.

In 1877, the young Antonina Milyukova declared her love for Tchaikovsky in a letter and threatened suicide unless he would marry her.
Tchaikovsky at first sought to discourage her affection for him, but he had become so wrapped up in Alexandre Pushkin’s story of Eugene Onegin and the music he was composing for his own version of the story that he could not bear to imitate Onegin’s callous rejection of Tatiana.
In a desperate bid for conventionality, he married Milyukova.

 Eugen Onegin - KCCU   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In the poem, Onegin receives a similar letter from Tatiana, and he replies that he cannot love her in return, a reply that leads to disaster.
Though Tchaikovsky thought Onegin a cad, he attempted to reply to Antonina in the same manner, but, after agreeing to meet her, ended up believing that she would never survive his loss and proposed marriage.
Though there were also pointed differences between the two fictional characters and the two real ones--for example, that Tchaikovsky was gay--that marriage ended in disaster, and its details must have worked their way into the opera that Tchaikovsky finished not very long after the ill-fated marriage ended.

Ironically, the successful revival of the opera, which celebrates the devotion of a faithful wife, came while he was himself still recovering from the period of devastating loneliness that followed the conclusion of the "Immortal Beloved" episode in 1812.
Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, completed in early 1878, coincides with a particularly difficult episode in his life, his brief and disastrous marriage to the unstable Antonina Milyukova.
Probably, the malicious fate struggled against in the first movement, described by Tchaikovsky's as "that ominous power that hinders our striving after happiness," refers to his homosexuality, which was surely an obstacle to his finding happiness in marriage.

As the composer laboured to make music out of Pushkin's tragic tale-the rejection of an epistolary declaration of love which is later regretted-he received an unexpected love letter of his own from one of his students at the music conservatory.
Convinced that this was an act of fate and determined not to make the same mistake as Onegin, Tchaikovsky, who was homosexual, responded to the letter and proposed to its author, Antonina Milyukova.
The distratrous 11 weeks of marriage that followed pushed Tchaikovsky to the very brink of sanity, and it was only the arragement of a hasty annulment that allowed the composer to put aside thoughts of suicide and concentrate on completeing his operatic masterwork.
