Director Rene Feret's vivacious costume drama about Mozart's talented older sister Nannerl is a vivid depiction of 18th-century pre-revolutionary France.
Accomplished singer, harpsichordist and violinist, Nannerl is Wolfgang's elder by five years. Originally held up as the family's child prodigy, she has now taken a back step to her younger brother, in line with the social conventions which dictate that the violin is a man's province, and composing is beyond a woman's feeble brain. Frustrated by the limitations placed on her, Nannerl discovers romance via a relationship with the future monarch (Clovis Fouin) who nurtures Nannerl's fantasies of acceptance both as a musician and a woman.
