Hoffman, a talented but troubled poet, experiences a series of disastrous romances. He falls for Olympia, a beautiful woman who is revealed to be an automaton created by a scientist. Devastated, Hoffman then begins a relationship with a captivating prostitute, only to learn she was manipulating him as part of a plot by Dapertutto. His final love ends tragically when his lover is affected by a mysterious magic spell. As his relationships fail, Hoffman questions whether love can endure constant deception and illusion.
