SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
It is 1824. The composer, played brilliantly by Ed Harris,
is racing to finish his new symphony. However, it has been
years since his last success and he is plagued by deafness,
loneliness and personal trauma. A copyist is urgently needed
to help the composer finish in time for the scheduled first
performance - otherwise the orchestra
will have no music to play. Insightful young conservatory
student and aspiring composer Anna Holtz (Diane Kruger) is
recommended for the position. The mercurial Beethoven is skeptical
that a woman might become involved in his masterpiece but
slowly comes to trust in Anna's assistance and in the end
becomes quite fond of her.
By the time the piece is performed - a moment in history
captured in an exquisitely moving shot from Anna's perspective,
as she sits on the orchestra floor helping the deaf Beethoven
to keep time - her presence in his life is an absolute necessity.
Her deep understanding of his work is such that she even corrects
mistakes he has made, while her passionate personality opens
a door into his proud, private world.
