Plot

John, an eccentric music teacher, takes in Sebastian, a younger writer—ostensibly to help him, but in truth because he’s attracted to him. When Sebastian begins a serious relationship with a woman, John becomes jealous and starts a fight that ultimately leads to Sebastian’s accidental death. Afterward, John discovers Sebastian’s unpublished manuscript and decides to publish it under his own name.
