Alma is twenty-one, beautiful, clever, talented and an aspiring composer. Torn between marriage to the famous Gustav Mahler and the younger, less celebrated Zemlinsky, her teacher, and supporter of her musical ambitions, she marries Mahler knowing that as his future wife he has forbidden her to compose. This psychological drama, written by Claire Novello and directed by Kenneth Michaels, marks sixty years since Alma Mahlers death, and still resonates today.
