Michael is a violinist from Rochdale. He plays in a trio in Vienna with Julia, a pianist, and they are much taken with each other. But the trio splits up and they go their separate ways.

When Michael reads a letter from Julia to her husband, he realises that Julia is never going to give herself to him ...
