Ludwig B

Two young men find their lives intersecting again and again. Franz Kreustein is the disgraced son of a duke, and has a deep-rooted hatred for the name Ludwig, and anyone who bears that name. The other being Ludwig van Beethoven, son of a low-ranking court player, is determined to become a great musician in his own right - and on his own terms.

An incident when they were younger leaves Ludwig with hearing problems, ultimately leading to him becoming deaf. How can a musician who cannot hear still succeed?
