Aging German composer Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde) travels to the Venetian seashore for a rest. But rest doesn't come due to a young blond boy, Tadzio (Bjorn Andresen), who is traveling with his family. Aschenbach obsesses over Tadzio because Tadzio represents youth and physical perfection. Aschenbach knows he can never attain that perfection and quietly dies on the beach. Adapted from the Thomas Mann novel.
