Mademoiselle Paradis
HistoryDrama
18th century Vienna. Maria Theresia von Paradis, a gifted piano player and close friend of Mozart's, lost her eye-sight as a child. Desperate to cure their talented daughter, the Paradis entrust Maria to Dr. Mesmer, a forward-thinking-physician who gives her the care and attention that she requires. With the doctor's innovative techniques of magnetism, Maria slowly recovers her sight. But this miracle comes at a price as the woman progressively starts to lose her gift for music.
VIBE
A tender, quiet drama exploring the delicate balance between sensory perception and artistic talent. It feels like a hushed, elegant waltz through 18th-century Vienna, tinged with the melancholy of profound personal change.
