Synopsis
Famed courtesan Violetta captures the heart of the young, affluent Alfredo, making her question the life of independence she thought she had wanted. The two take a leap of love, hoping for their happily ever after. Will deceit and social hierarchy tear them apart? Or will a force even greater destroy their future?
