La Boheme Synopsis 

The inspiration for Moulin Rouge and RENT, La Bohème is the original bohemian love story, set among the fishnets and fairy lights of 1930s Berlin.

A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher walk into a bar to celebrate a sudden windfall in a lean winter. It’s Christmas Eve, and the poet has just felt the first pangs of great love. When a seamstress knocks on his door searching for candlelight, the pair fall in love faster than she can sing “Yes, they call me Mimì...”

Between the ideals of love and art and the cruel realities of cold winters, bitter jealousies and empty pockets, two sets of lovers are trying to find their way.

By the time the curtain comes down, you’ll know the answer to an eternal question: is love enough?
