Story Of Symphonie Fantastique

A young, extremely sensitive and imaginative musician tries to kill

himself with opium due to depression caused by discouraged love.
Unfortunately, the dose was not enough and does not kill him but
instead, plunges him into a heavy sleep flocked with nightmares.
His experiences, feelings, and memories are translated into
hallucinations of musical thoughts and images. The girl he loves
was transformed into a melody and like a recurring theme, he
meets and hears everywhere. Each movement of the symphony
refersto a different vision in the young musician's mind.
