Don Juan is a handsome, naive nobleman in 16th century Spain. His servant, Leporello, urges him to find a girlfriend, but the Don is more interested in finding the meaning of life through books and alchemy. Afraid he won't have time to find it, Don Juan calls up the Devil who grants him immortality as long as Don Juan seduces a different woman every day. The first woman he seduces is Dona Elvira, his true love. Elvira cuts her own deal with the Devil: she won't die until she sleeps with Don Juan a second time. Four hundred years later, exhausted by endless sex and still pursued by Elvira, and never any time to pursue the meaning of life, Don Juan swears off sex after promising Elvira one last evening with her. Hearing this, the Devil calls in his debt. Don Juan and Elvira face damnation, only to be redeemed by the Devil, who, moved by Don Juan's 'unfailing niceness,' sends them on to eternal bliss.
