Maestro movie storyline. During the 1940s, American composer / conductor Leonard Bernstein became famous for his intricate work. He was in a romantic relationship with clarinettist David Oppenheim until he met an actress, Felicia Montealegre, who inspired him in ways he had never experienced before. They soon began a relationship and eventually got married.
Throughout the years, Leonard found success in Hollywood, but he always had a passion for sophisticated music, which led him to search for more complex sounds and compositions. However, his character affected his relationship with Felicia. Three children later, Felicia couldn’t deal with the stress anymore, and tired of looking the other way, she abandoned him–a pivotal decision that forced Leonard to face himself and his mistakes.
