Revered writer Gustav von Aschenbach is in turmoil. After living a solitary and disciplined life well into his old age, he realises that there are still some things he’d like to experience. So, on holiday to Venice he goes, which he discovers to be an intoxicating place. There, he is struck by the beauty of a young boy called Tadzio. But admiration becomes infatuation as a deadly disease invades the sunny Italian shores.
