Puccini is a documentary and drama film released in 1984 with a runtime of one hour and fifty-three minutes. Set in Torre del Lago by Lake Massaciuccoli, the film follows the composer Puccini as he writes the work The Girl of the Golden West. During this time, his wife Elvira accuses him of having a dalliance with their young maid from town named Doria Manfredi. Although the maestro is frequently unfaithful, he denies the affair. Elvira insists she is right and publicly hounds Doria in a domestic drama that turns tragic. Interwoven between scenes of this narrative, viewers watch a Scottish company rehearse and stage Turandot, which is Puccini's last opera. The film explores parallels between the two stories, suggesting that within the opera, Puccini expresses love for his wife alongside guilt regarding Doria's fate.
