Musical, Early

Three generations of love stories unfold across three eras in Vienna, each accompanied by waltz music from its period. In 1865 a countess and soldier fall in love; in 1900 their children navigate romance; and in the present day their granddaughter, a movie star, falls for a modern composer, proving love endures.
