Plot
In the year 1788, Mozart escapes Vienna for Prague, but his presence unleashes a series of dramatic events set off by a forbidden love affair with young soprano Zuzana. His passionate response to danger and heartbreak ultimately expressed through his genius mind and the creation of, arguably, his most famous masterpiece.
