Synopsis
Freedom-loving Carmen is desired by all men. Although none of their relationships last, the soldier Don José falls madly in love with her after she coquettishly throws a flower at his feet.
He deserts, abandons a budding relationship with Micaëla, a girl from his village, and joins Carmen's gang of smugglers. This time, too, Carmen's feelings cool, and she becomes only interested in the bullfighter Escamillo. An argument between Don José and Carmen escalates outside the arena: Filled with jealousy, Don José kills his former lover.
