Synopsis:
The story takes place in Paris where three bohemians live: Marcel, a poet without a publisher, Rodolfo, an Albanian painter without a visa and Schaunard, a postmodernist composer. Living in poverty and constantly hungry, the three friends are forced to help each other and rely on their resourcefulness. Under such harsh conditions the love between Marcel and Musette and Rodolfo and Mimi endures many trials.
