Recognised early in his career for his groundbreaking talents, Wagner is feted by European society until his scandalous and radical political views force him into exile in Zurich.

At the same time, Wagner begins a scandalous relationship with the composer Liszt (Ekkehard Schall)'s illegitimate daughter.
