Rupert Everett reads 'Love and Death', Byron's final poem, by the lagoon at Messolonghi where he died.
While preparing to fight for Greek independence, Byron fell in love with his teenaged Greek page, Lukas. However, Lukas did not feel the same way, and Byron's love went unrequited. His last poem paints a sad, but touching picture of a troubled genius' broken heart.
