Gabriele returns home in southern Italy to bid farewell to his father Ernesto, a former stationmaster in a small town not far from Bari. The old man reawakens in Gabriele memories of his childhood, of his loving mother, his uncle, his friends... but also of his father's rage and bitterness over his failure in achieving his artistic ambitions: Ernesto was convinced he was destined to be a famous painter, and was willing to sacrifice everything for this belief, even his own dignity – and this made his son swear that he wouldn't turn out like him. Only now, many years later, through chance and circumstances, Gabriele begins to understand Ernesto and to see what sort of person his father really was.

파가니니(Niccolo Paganini : 클라우스 킨스키 분)는 돈과 여자, 그리고 광적인 음악에의 열정으로 살다간 사람이다. 그의 음악에는 유혹과 전율과 엄청난 희열이 분출하고 있다. 당시의 사람들은 그를 가리켜 악마에게 영혼을 판 대가로 바이올린의 천재성을 얻어냈다며 마성에 찬 그의 음악을 시기하면서도 사랑했다. 파가니니의 연주는 쳬중을 광풍 속으로 몰아넣듯이 압도하여 신기에 찬 바이올린 선율로 전율케 한다. 그의 감각적이고 낭만적인 힘에 빨려 든 수 많은 부인과 처녀들 사이에서 끊임없이 물의를 일으키는 파가니니. 교회는 그를 투옥하고, 왕녀들은 선물 공세로 그를 사로잡으려고 한다. 그러나 정작 그가 사랑한 사람은 수많은 여자들이 아니라 오페라 가수 비앙타가 낳은 아들이었다. 거의 동물적이고 맹목적인 부성을 통해 그의 굴절된 삶과 속성이 악마적 음악 세계와 함께 펼쳐진다.
