Plot
In the year 1788, Mozart escapes Vienna for Prague, but his presence unleashes a series of dramatic events set off by a forbidden love affair with young soprano Zuzanna. His passionate response to danger and heartbreak ultimately expressed through his genius mind and the creation of one of his most famous masterpieces. A provocative twist on the Mozart biopic, with lust and murder.[https://www.amazon.co.uk/Interlude-Prague-James-Purefoy/dp/B072LDG6SX Interlude in Prague], amazon.co.uk
