The year is 1764. For over a year, Josef has been leading a precarious life in Venice. He hopes to become an opera composer. The city, full of talented and already-established composers, seems closed to him. Looking for work as a violinist, he comes into the orbit of a rich young woman. Thanks to her, he gets the opportunity to play at salons. But his real opportunity arises when he becomes the lover of a libertine marquise. She teaches him worldly manners, rids him of signs of a provincial upbringing and introduces him to a hedonistic existence free from religious intolerance. Thus transformed, Josef gets an incan incredible commission: to write an opera for the San Carlo, Europe's largest theatre.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by relying on the opulent textures of 18th-century Venice and the precise cadence of a rising artist's ambition. It explores the Faustian bargains required to ascend in a world where talent alone is never enough.

What lingers after the final act is the haunting cost of transformation and the fragile line between patronage and subjugation. A visually sumptuous, morally complex period piece. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Petr Václav
