La Vie de Bohème plot
Three penniless artists are friends in modern Paris. Rodolfo is an Albanian painter without a visa, Marcel writes plays and Schaunard is a modern composer. Despite not making a dime, they refuse to make their art more accessible to a wider audience. Rodolfo falls in love with barmaid Mimi, but then he is expelled from the country. Six months later, he is back in Paris illegally, and Mimi leaves her new boyfriend to be with Rodolfo again. Conflicts arise, especially about the lack of money, and that does not benefit the relationships of the three artists.
