When Daland and his Norwegian sailors spot the Dutchman's ship, they hail him. He tells them that he is doomed to sail the seas and can come on land once every seven years to seek redemption from the curse. Daland, who is rather greedy, hopes the wealthy stranger will marry his daughter, although Erik, a young hunter, has already been courting her. They go to Daland's house, where Senta promises obedience to her father's wishes. She has been feeling that Erik is a little bit too conventional and boring and she finds the stranger mysterious and romantic, so she sings her desire to be the woman who can redeem the Dutchman. He warns that her fate won't be pretty if she swears fidelity but fails to keep it, but Senta has fallen in love at first sight and pledges her faithfulness unto death. Party time! But when the sailors and their women call to the Dutch ship for the crew to come ashore and join the celebration, it becomes clear that the ship is manned by ghosts. Written by Fiona Kelleghan

《荷兰人》的故事设定在纽约的地铁上，主要围绕一位富裕的黑人男子和一位迷人的白人女子之间的相遇展开。两人在一场充满性暗示的猫鼠游戏中斗智斗勇，最终以暴力结局收场。

A sinister, neurotic white girl Lula, with the provocation of her lovely, half-naked body and of her startlingly lascivious speech, lures to his doom a good-looking young black man Clay, a stranger whom she has picked up in the subway and whom she mocks for wearing the clothes and employing the voice and manners of the conventional white intellectual. The man, who, at first seeing no reason to resist the girl's advances, perceives too late that he is being used by her, drops his "white" disguise, and launches a wild and bitter counterattack on her and on the entire white race.

The saga, which unfolds over several years, kicks off in Flanders in 1568. Peasants, rebelling against Spanish rule, are sacking churches. One such gang, carrying the huge head of a statue taken from a church, stumbles onto land owned by a farmer, Nettelneck, when it's attacked by Spaniards. Only one Dutchman escapes, and after he and Nettelneck's wife make love, the result is a son, who is raised on Nettelneck's farm (for some reason dominated by a huge cesspool) but who is always an outsider. Some years later, a wandering Italian minstrel, Campanelli, who witnessed the massacre and the coupling, returns to tell the boy his father is alive and sailing at sea on his ship (though he's actually long dead); he also reveals that his father is able to fly. Later still, the boy, now a man, leaves the farm with his sweetheart, Lotte, in search of his flying father. The film paints a dark and cruel picture of medieval times, alternating between grim and crass (and gross) realism and almost pythonesque farce. People are mostly ugly, stupid and mean, everything from the farm to a grounded ship or an asylum/prison is covered in mud and excrements. An uncompromising, ambitious and probably very personal film.

1830年代，法国，巴黎拉丁区 　　第一幕 　　圣诞夜，巴黎拉丁区（Latin）的一间破旧的公寓阁楼里，诗人鲁道夫（Rudolf，男高音）和画家马尔切洛（Marcello，男中音）冷得发抖，为了取暖，他们决定烧掉鲁道夫最新的诗稿。抱着一堆旧书，哲学家柯林（Colline，男低音）推门进来，他原想用这些书换点钱却什么都没有卖掉。三个人围在微弱的火炉边取笑自己的境况时，找到一份临时工作的音乐家舒奥纳（Schaunard，男中音）带着食物和木柴回来。他们正要为这意外的好运外出庆祝，房东班努瓦（Benoit，男低音）来收房租，四人嘀咕着想办法把他打发走，便哄班努瓦喝酒，当微醉的班努瓦开始讲自己的艳遇时，四人把他踢出门外。 　　他们去摩姆斯咖啡馆（Cafe Momus）之前，鲁道夫说自己要写完一篇稿子，其他人便在楼下等他。有人敲门，是他们的女邻居咪咪（Mimi，女高音），她拿着蜡烛来借火，但体弱多病的咪咪由于走楼梯太快而昏倒在鲁道夫的怀中。鲁道夫递给她一小杯酒令她镇静并点亮了她的蜡烛，当她起身离开时又遗失了钥匙，两个人低头寻找的时候，风把他们的蜡烛吹灭。黑暗中，鲁道夫不小心碰到了咪咪的手，于是握住她的手说屋里太黑，可以等月亮出来后再找钥匙，并请她允许自己帮她暖手，接着，他谈起了自己的境况（咏叹调：你那双冰冷的小手(Che gelida manina)）。经鲁道夫的要求，咪咪告诉他自己的身世，说自己孤单的生活，靠绣花为生，盼望春天来临（咏叹调：我的名字叫咪咪(Si, Mi chiamano Mimi)）。这时楼下的伙伴催鲁道夫快点加入他们，鲁道夫打开窗户回应他们，转过头来，看到月光下咪咪苍白的脸，那种如梦般脆弱的美丽令他激动不已，忍不住说出爱慕的话。两个人的心陷入爱情，他们手拉手前去摩姆斯咖啡馆。 　　第二幕 　　圣诞夜的大街上十分热闹，摩姆斯咖啡馆里坐满了人，鲁道夫向大家介绍咪咪，称她为自己的诗。几个人高高兴兴的叫来了晚餐，忽然门外一阵浪笑，马尔切洛过去的情人、穿戴华丽的穆塞塔（Musetta，女高音）出现，她挽着一个老头的手臂，那是有财有势的阿尔契多罗（Alcindoro，男低音）。为了吸引画家的注意，穆塞塔唱起了一支舞曲，称赞自己的美丽无人能够抗拒，画家又一次被她征服。穆塞塔吩咐阿尔契多罗为她买一双新鞋，他一离开，穆塞塔就倒进了马尔切洛的怀中。当阿尔契多罗回来，等待他的是一堆账单。 　　第三幕 　　黎明，白色的雪覆盖大地。咪咪带着黑色面纱独自一人来到城外的酒馆门前，鲁道夫、马尔切洛与穆塞塔暂时住在这里。咪咪唤人找来马尔切洛，她问起鲁道夫，说他因为嫉妒而怀疑她，对她冷淡。这时鲁道夫也出来了，咪咪赶紧躲在树丛后，他向马尔切洛抱怨咪咪跟别的男人眉来眼去，并说咪咪的病很重，而他没有钱为她治病，所以希望分手，好让咪咪找一位有能力的情人。听到自己的了绝症，不久于世，咪咪痛哭起来，鲁道夫找到她将她拥抱在怀中，咪咪与他告别（咏叹调：我要回到自己的小窝）。酒店里传来穆塞塔与人调情的声音，马尔切洛急忙跑进去，两个人吵起来，恶言相向，最后不欢而散。鲁道夫与咪咪却依依不舍，他们回忆起往昔美好的时光。 　　第四幕 　　春天，拉丁区的公寓，鲁道夫与马尔切洛孤孤单单，他们无法忘记自己的女友。这时，舒奥纳与柯林带着美酒与佳肴回来，四个人嬉笑打闹起来。穆塞塔突然冲进来，她说咪咪为了见情人最后一面而来，但体力不支，昏倒在楼下。鲁道夫赶紧把咪咪抱上来，放在床上，其他人拿着自己值钱的东西出去变卖好换药品。众人离去后，鲁道夫握着咪咪的手，说他们初次见面时的情景，咪咪一时激动，晕过去，鲁道夫惊叫起来。大家回来，穆塞塔为咪咪带上一副皮手笼，咪咪对她微笑，说很暖和。马尔切洛将药交给鲁道夫，柯林问咪咪如何了，穆塞塔回答她睡了，但舒奥纳却惊慌的指出咪咪已经没有呼吸。一时间，房间里一片悲哀，他们流着眼泪呆呆的看着床上面容安详的咪咪。鲁道夫浑身颤抖，他摸索着来到咪咪的身边，抱紧渐渐冰冷的身体，呼唤死者的名字，但再也没有人来回答他了，只有朋友失声痛哭的声音穿越了那颗破碎的心。
