The 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 flirtatiously throws a flower at his feet.
He deserts, foregoes an emerging relationship with Micaëla, a girl from his village, and joins Carmen's gang of smugglers. This time too, Carmen's feelings cool and she is only interested in the bullfighter Escamillo. In front of the arena, an argument between Don José and Carmen escalates: full of jealousy, Don José kills his former lover.
