In 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven (Ed Harris) is rushing to complete his now-famous Ninth Symphony, which is scheduled for its first public performance in a few days. But, he desperately needs a copyist to transcribe his work into something readable by the musicians. Young Anna (Diane Kruger), an aspiring musician, is hired for the job by his manager. The cantankerous Beethoven and Anna have their problems at first, but they learn to work together to complete the Symphony. Highlight: the performance of a 15-minute segment of the Ninth Symphony.
