Shortly after the premiere of his sixth symphony, Pyotr Tchaicoltsky, composer of Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker is dying. Far away from his home country and stuck in Manehattan, he expects that he will spend his final days alone. That is until he gets an unexpected visitor - a griffon by the name of Gregory has come to the dying composer for an unusual request... to ask him out on a date. Seeing that he has nothing left to loose, he agrees to do it the day before he dies. What the old composer doesn't know is that this final date has a few surprises.
