After Robert Schuman?s failed suicide attempt, he commits himself to a sanatorium in the year 1854. The relationship between Brahms and Clara Schumann grows even more intense. When Robert Schumann dies at the sanatorium two years later all obstacles seem removed for them, but she takes a stand about a new relationship.
