After Amadeus is dismissed from the Salzburg court for his wild and disrespectful behavior, his sister Maria Anna faces an even worse fate: an arranged marriage by their father, Leopold. To avert their mutual ruin, the siblings secretly flee to Vienna, hoping to secure Amadeus a new position at the court of Emperor Joseph II. What Maria Anna doesn't know is that her brother is suffering from a wrist injury, which he is treating with a mixture of laudanum and alcohol.
