THE PLOT
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Rudolf Kaiser
A self-made billionaire and fashion mogul, owner of a chain of fashion stores. Widowed. He made his billions selling affordable clothing to the masses, but deep down he has always wanted the Kaiser brand to go upmarket, and he's always craved to belong to more cultured circles.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Leonie Kaiser
His daughter: clever, beautiful, a little ignorant about the lives and struggles of those less privileged than her. She has no interest in business and fashion but is obsessed by classical music and wants to study and become a conductor.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Jonas
A modest gardener in the Kaiser’s mansion. Highly talented and creative singer-songwriter, but without any musical education. He adores Leonie from afar but is all too aware that they belong to two different planets.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
LoVE DUETT
Leonie has dressed up as a boy (Leo) to study at the academy secretly. Jonas has also gone to the academy in the hope of studying there. They meet and befriend each other. Leo offers to give Jonas a private lesson in harmony, after he had just been humiliated because of his ignorance. They improvise together on the words of a love poem. And although Leonie is officially just Leo, and the two ‘boys’ are just friends, the music tells us a different story…
