About
Life in 1847 Paris is as spirited as champagne and as unforgiving as the gray morning after. In gambling dens and lavish soirees, men of means exert their wills and women turned courtesans exult in pleasure. One such woman is Marguerite Gautier, who begins a sumptuous romance with Armand Duval.

The doctor? If you can't make me live, how can he?
[dying]
Armand
No. Don't say such things, Marguerite. You'll live, you must live.
Marguerite
Perhaps it's better if I live in your heart, where the world can't see me. If I'm dead, there'll be no staying of our love.
