A good-for-nothing carousel operator, Liliom wreaks havoc on his own life and those of the women who love him. When he falls for beautiful, innocent Julie, Liliom trades in his carnival life and the unrequited love of Madame Moscat for domestic bliss. But later, when he botches a robbery attempt, and cannot face his pregnant wife, he attempts to kill himself. But even that fails. Liliom is refused by the strict gatekeepers of Heaven. He is sent straight to purgatory. There he awaits the sixteenth birthday of his daughter, for which the angels have chosen to give him a second chance to make good.
