It was shot at the Cité Elgé Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jacques Colombier.
In Vienna in the early 19th century, while Beethoven works as a musical tutor, two of Beethoven's pupils are in love with him. One ends up marrying a count instead while the other spends years of unrequited love as his fiancée. Beethoven moves to Heiligenstadt to dedicate himself to his music, and overcoming his growing deafness, composes a series of masterworks.
