Le film raconte l'histoire romancée avec diverses inexactitudes de la vie du compositeur. Son histoire d'amour avec Elvira Bonturi, qui a abandonné son mari pour lui et avec qui elle a eu son fils Antonio, est tout à fait exacte, tout comme le fait que Puccini avait de nombreux amantes, y compris des chanteuses célèbres, mais il n'a jamais abandonné sa femme à qui il est toujours resté fidèle à sa manière.

Since getting divorced, Baroness Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, previously Baroness Dudevant, the successful and notorious writer of sensational romance novels now living under the pseudonym George Sand, in Paris, has been in the habit of dressing like a man. In her romantic pursuit of the sensitive Chopin, whose music she fell in love with before seeing him in person, George/Aurora is advised that she must act like a man pursuing a woman, though she is also advised to avoid damaging his health by not pursuing him at all. With this advice Sand is deterred by a fellow countrywoman who pretends to be smitten with Chopin, the mistress of Franz Liszt, the Countess Marie d'Agoult. Whether the Countess is really in love with Chopin is unlikely; she seeks only to prevent a relationship between Chopin and Sand.
