The story

Composer Gustav von Aschenbach travels to Venice for rest, due to serious health concerns.

Aschenbach takes quarters in the beachside Grand Hotel des Bains on the Venice Lido.

When he manages to get close to the boy in the hotel's elevator, Tadzio seems to throw a seductive look at Aschenbach while exiting the lift.
