[Machine Translation] The Ninth Symphony Scene! 12 minutes of excitement and exuberance that will leave a lasting impression on the history of cinema! Diane Kruger ("Troy", "Battlefield Aria") and Ed Harris ("The Hours", "A Beautiful Mind") give passionate performances in this master-student love story. Directed by Agnieszka Holland (Against the Sun and the Moon). --Vienna, 1824. A young woman comes to Beethoven's (Ed Harris) studio. Her name is Anna ( Diane Kruger ). Aspiring to become a composer, she is hired as a copyist for Beethoven's new composition. Beethoven is angry at the arrival of a female copyist, but eventually recognizes her talent, and Anna becomes a support for his compositions. As the premiere of the symphony nears, they work day and night, and a feeling more than a love between teacher and student grows between them. Finally, on the day of the premiere of "Symphony No. 9 in D minor," Beethoven, despite his deafness and fear, takes the stage at the Karntner Theater to conduct the orchestra... This is the definitive music film that portrays the anguish and fragility of Beethoven as a musician, known as a lonely musician who could not fulfill his love throughout his life, with a sensitivity unique to women!
