A speculative account of Maria Anna “Nannerl” Mozart (Marie Feret), five years older than Wolfgang (David Moreau) and a musical prodigy in her own right. Originally the featured performer, she has given way to Wolfgang as the main attraction, as their strict but loving father Leopold (Marc Barbe) tours his talented offspring in front of the royal courts of pre-French revolution Europe. Approaching marriageable age and now forbidden to play the violin or compose, Nannerl chafes at the limitations imposed on her gender. But a friendship with the son and daughter of Louis...

French filmmaker René Féret writes, directs and produces this imagined portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's older sister Maria Anna 'Nannerl' Mozart. Despite being a talented musician and composer in her own right, Nannerl (played by the director's daughter Marie Féret) is forced to act as accompanist to her brother, who is five years younger. As she comes of age in this difficult and ambitious family, monopolised by the domineering Leopold Mozart (Marc Barbé), Nannerl must suppress her own creative and sexual impulses to conform to the social conventions of the day.
