Lover Beyond Death

A story of unfulfilled love between Ludwig van Beethoven and Countess Almerie Esterházy. Speculations about who was the consignee of Beethoven's three love letters emerged immediately after the letters were found in his estate. The identity of the woman who was the composer's "Lover Beyond Death" was revealed by archivist Jaroslav Čeleda. Five years ago, researcher Oldřich Pulkert published Čeleda's theory. Director Josef Císařovský used the Napoleon period as a backdrop for his story. Music plays a significant part in the film.
