Jean-Christophe

Born into a family of musicians in a small German duchy, Jean-Christophe Krafft is a force of nature, a musical prodigy whose life unfolds like a grand symphony. From his early triumphs as a court musician to his turbulent experiences with love, poverty, and violent exile, his journey is a relentless pursuit of artistic and personal truth. Fleeing to Paris, he finds a kindred spirit in Olivier, yet his uncompromising ideals and fiery temperament repeatedly clash with the world, pushing him ever onward, a perpetual wanderer seeking solace and expression through his art, until his final refuge in Switzerland. This epic chronicles a man's entire life, from birth to death, in a sprawling, immersive narrative.
