The story of the last fifteen years of the composer Bedřich Smetana’s life, when he suffers a tragic hearing loss. Despite this challenge, he produces his best work at this time. The film charts the composer’s mission to make it big on the global stage, and his battle to keep his dignity intact in an often envious, narrow-minded and sometimes hostile society. A fascinating tale of resilience, aspiration, and the pursuit of inspiration and fortitude.
