Synopsis
Ludwig van Beethoven was a revolutionary, a world spirit and the creator of immortal masterpieces like the ninth symphony and the 32 piano sonatas. The film Louis van Beethoven wants to visualize the man behind it. The highly gifted child Louis grows up in the provincial town of Bonn in the late 18th century. An over challenged father, a rebellious actor and a contrapuntally strict court organist look after the young genius and shape Beethoven in very different ways. A fateful encounter with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Vienna and the political upheavals of the time, which culminate in the French Revolution, nurture a liberal spirit in young Beethoven, who only wants to serve his art but no master.
