Hank and Frannie don't seem to be able to live together anymore. After a five-year relationship, lustful and dreamy Fanny leaves down-to-earth Hank on the anniversary of their relationship. Each one of them meets their dream mate, but as bright as they may seem, they are but a stage of lights and colours. Will true love prevail over a seemingly glamorous passion? Welcome to Coppola's Broadway-like romantic musical.

The extraordinary cost of the production of this film would lead to director Francis Ford Coppola's declaring bankruptcy. Originally intended as a small film after the enormous cost, pressures and production problems of
Apocalypse Now, One from the Heart rapidly ballooned from a projected budget of $2 million to over $25 million. Coppola has stated that the films he made during the rest of the 1980s and most of the 1990s, such as
The Outsiders,
The Cotton Club,
The Godfather: Part III,
Jack and
The Rainmaker, were done to pay off the debts incurred by the production of One from the Heart.
