He doesn't seem like a genius at all, but like a wounded man. Also, his speeches seem more like ramblings, as if he picks up words at random and finds associations for them. he seems desperate. Like a troublemaker. Until he starts playing in the village church. Quite spontaneously he creates masterpieces on the church organ. His music seems to pour out of him like a cry of fear and hope. A child prodigy. His life story is like that of a man trying to heal himself. His name is Elias Johanes Alder (André Eisermann) and he is born around 1900 in a remote Alpine village. At the moment of his birth, his musical genius is burned into his soul. This power fills the villagers with both fear and fascination. Elias is different. He finds only one friend who understands him. His name is Peter. Together they play, secretly spending whole nights in the church. Then Peter's little sister Elsbeth (Dana Vávrová) is born and they move out to the lake. There, all the sounds of the universe crash down on Elias. It is a powerful, disturbing phenomenon and it seems to bind Elias irrevocably to Elsbeth. And the couple is just as bound to all the timbres and sounds around the world.... The beginning of a destructive passion. Just like the music, love becomes an act of madness for Elias.
