Synopsis

Historical reconstruction as art. Filmed in the very locations once occupied by Anna Magdalena Bach and her husband, Johann Sebastian, and based on their actual letters, this is more than a biopic. It is a comprehensive attempt to portray these people, their times, and their music, which is presented lovingly and often, in period instrumentation. Newly restored on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary.
