Hector Berlioz's 19th century classic Symphonie Fantastique comes alive in modern New York City to tell the story of two lives forever changed by one passionate night of rash decisions. Hector and Harriet, two young New Yorkers, meet at a party on a hot summer night and enjoy a romantic adventure out in the city. The next morning, a repentant Hector sets out to right his wrongs, embarking on a tortuous odyssey through the perilous streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan. This film has little sound other than the music of Symphonie Fantistique, which inspires not only the story, but also informs each character's actions.
