The choreographer Antonio is gaining a troupe for setting the Carmen ballet. During rehearsals, the choreographer succumbs to the spell of a real Carmen, which plays the main role. Music and representation so capture the heroes that the truth of life turns into a performance, and the action itself leads to a bloody denouement.
