Prague, 1995: journalist Ludvik Slany is assigned to make a
documentary about a truly bizarre case. Vera Foltynova, a
middle-aged woman with no musical training, claims she has been
visited by the ghost of great composer Frederic Chopin - and that
he has been dictating dozens of compositions to her, to allow the
world to hear the sublime music he was unable to create in his own
short life. With media and recording companies taking the bait,
Ludvik enlists the help of ex-Communist secret police agent Pavel
Cerny? to expose Vera as a fraud. Soon, however, doubt creeps in,
as he finds himself irrationally drawn towards this unassuming
woman and the eerily beautiful music she plays. Could he be
witnessing a true miracle? An intricately plotted mystery imbued
with the dusky atmosphere of autumnal Prague, The Ghost of Frederic
Chopin is an engrossing story of art, faith and the quiet
accompaniment of the past.
