Vienna, 1803. At the opening of our story there exists two separate worlds in 19th century Europe - the world of freed slaves who settle across Europe, and the world of the landed gentry - each containing a small group of characters upon whom we focus our audiences' interest.<br /> <br /> These two worlds come into contact with each other through the person of the violinist, George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower. Our drama consists in the collision of these two worlds as represented by the composer, Ludwig van Beethoven and Bridgetower. This is the story of their brief friendship.

1931, London. At the opening of our film there exists two separate worlds in 20th century London - the world of Jamaicans who settled before the First World War, and the world of mainstream society. Our story consists in the marriage of these two worlds that rarely come into contact with each other. <br /> <br /> Our story begins with the introduction of Dr. Harold Moody and his wife, Olive Mabel Tranter, who are members of Camberwell Congregational Church. The world of Jamaican settlers now intrudes polite society after the First World War and the conflict within our story therefore begins.
