The story

What Is Casanova About?

The premise of Casanova without spoilers.

The film chronicles the rise and fall of an 18‑century libertine whose dazzling charm wins him countless lovers across Europe. Despite his reputation for romance, he is eventually arrested—not for any violent crime, but because the husbands and families of the women he seduces deem him an unacceptable threat, leading to his imprisonment.
