A STUDY IN WHAT MAKES GREATNESS
A fictionalized drama that traces the life of Ludwig van Beethoven from a precocious youth, to a tormented world-renowned artist—including his fateful encounter with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As his extraordinary talent emerges, the story connects Beethoven’s volatile temperament to a brutal childhood and the anguish of encroaching deafness. Along the way, it explores what truly separates mere talent from greatness.
