What possible Jewish connection could there be in the remarkable discovery of a lock of Ludwig van Beethoven's hair? The film traces the unlikely journey of this illustrious relic cut from the head of the expired genius and unravels the mystery of Beethoven's tortured life and death. Set to a lush score of some of Beethoven's most glorious music, the romance of 19th century Vienna puts in sharp relief the horrors of 20th century Nazi Germany. A fascinating forensic (ala CSI) musical mystery tour based on a true story and best-selling book.
