Watch The Mesmerizing Trailer For MOZART’S SISTER

Nothing is more exquisite than a period piece film – especially one such as MOZART’S SISTER opening in Los Angeles, Orange County and New York on August 19. The film will show in St. Louis beginning on September 30 at the Plaza Frontenac.

Synopsis:

Written, directed and produced by René Féret, MOZART’S SISTER is a re-imagined account of the early life of Maria Anna “Nannerl” Mozart (played by Marie Féret, the director’s daughter), five years older than Wolfgang (David Moreau) and a musical prodigy in her own right. Originally the featured performer, Nannerl has given way to Wolfgang as the main attraction, as their strict but loving father Leopold (Marc Barbe) tours his talented offspring in front of the royal courts of pre-French revolution Europe. Approaching marriageable age and now forbidden to play the violin or compose, Nannerl chafes at the limitations imposed on her gender. But a friendship with the son and daughter of Louis XV offers her ways to challenge the established sexual and social order.
