Set in 1770s Vienna, an era when Mozart and Haydn were in their prime, Mademoiselle Paradis follows an aspiring young harpsichordist whose magical playing has already gained notice among high society. A fly in the ointment: the prodigy is a woman, and blind. Maria Theresia von Paradis plays by ear and instinct, with heightened senses, yet her attentive mother and father want nothing more than to restore her sight, by whatever means possible. Theresia and her parents are soon at the doorstep of a physician who is just beginning to establish a reputation in Viennese society: Dr. Franz Mesmer. (Toronto International Film Festival)
