Winter in Mallorca (1970)

Mallorcan society does not regard George Sand's adulterous relationship with musician Frédéric Chopin, six years younger than the writer and seriously ill with tuberculosis. So, when they travel to the island with the idea that the soft Mallorcan winter will be beneficial to Chopin, no one wants to provide accommodation. The only possibility that is offered is to settle in the inhospitable Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa, which lacked any comfort. The difficulties of their relationship, the fragile health of Chopin and the presence of George Sand's children, adds to the incomprehension and lack of hospitality of the locals.
