The Third
Beethoven is a young, vivacious star in Vienna. Mendelssohn seeks to prove his musical prowess. Julie is a modern day museum worker who wonders if she’ll ever amount to anything. Connected by Beethoven’s epic Eroica Symphony, these three music lovers’ fates are entwined in a time-bending story about music, breaking free of predetermined molds, and becoming immortal through one’s art.
