The play endeavors to show the contradictory aspects of the complex affair between George Sand and Frederic Chopin. But it doesn't restrict itself to the mere birth and death of passion. Time, which erodes and destroys, is the enemy of passion, but time is also necessary for the birth, evolution and maturity of an artist.

« GEORGE : When I told you I loved you, it was true, just as it is true today that I no longer love you. I do not deserve to be accused of hypocrisy. / FRÉDÉRIC : Then I accuse you of shamelessness and debauchery! (He gets up and moves towards her, menacingly.) Monster that you are! Insatiable ogress, man-eating ghoul! Messalina! I detest you. »
