In this British ballet-opera adaptation of the classical work by Offenbach, a young poet by the name of Hoffman is plagued by a series of failed romances.  His affair with beautiful Olympia comes to naught, when he eventually discovers she's only a mechanical woman designed by a scientist.  He then comes to believe, that a beautiful courtesan has fallen in love with him, only to find out she was hired by an enemy to fake her affection.  In the end, a magic spell takes the life of his final lover.
