Summary
Composer Erik Satie is waiting out a flooding rain in a small Paris cafe. Suddenly the artist Suzanne Valadon arrives, conjuring in Satie memories of their brief, passionate affair seventeen years before. The tale of lost love and ultimate forgiveness is acted out through dance and music by Suzanne and the cafe\u0027s other denizens, a comic pair of waiters, a quartet of circus contortionists, and a drunken chess-player.
