Casanova dari Schnitzler sudah tua, hari-hari kejayaan telah berakhir: dia kehilangan pesona dan ketertarikannya pada wanita, dia bangkrut dan tidak lagi bersemangat untuk bepergian ke Eropa. Setelah lama diasingkan, ia hanya ingin kembali ke Venesia, kampung halamannya. Saat dalam perjalanan pulang Casanova bertemu dengan seorang gadis, Marcolina. Dia membangkitkan kembali keinginannya, hilang selama bertahun-tahun. Jadi, dia mencoba merayunya tapi itu membawanya ke pemahaman yang tragis: dia sudah tua sekarang. Bukan kebetulan Leo Bernardi memutuskan untuk menceritakan kisah ini sekarang juga, di momen penting dalam hidup dan kariernya. Nasib Casanova dan sutradaranya membawa mereka ke konfrontasi terakhir.
