Synopsis

Composer Franz Schubert falls in love with Hanner, one of three sisters, but he is too shy to express his feelings. He asks a young baron to sing her a lieder that he has written, but Hanner falls in love with the baron. Resigned to the romance between the baron and Hanner, Schubert plays his "Ave Maria" at their wedding. Later, while composing his Eighth Symphony, Schubert hears that Beethoven has become deaf, and he leaves the symphony unfinished out of respect for his friend.
