Summary

Two films about Tchaikovsky's lifelong preoccupation with fate as a governing force in our lives and particularly in his own life. The first, Tchaikovsky's women, covers the years up to the composition of Eugene Onegin and his disastrous marriage to Antonina Milyukova. The women referred to in the title are his vulnerable young heroines. The second film, Fate focuses on Tchaikovsky's treatment of the idea of fate in his later symphonies and his own increasing preoccupation with his own destiny.
