Synopsis

Following on from the highly successful IVANS XTC, a landmark in digital cinema, acclaimed director Bernard Rose (CANDYMAN) continues the re-imagining of Leo Tolstoy's controversial 19th Century literature, in the second part of a planned trilogy.

The film investigates further into the darker side of modern Hollywood society, exploring the rich complexities of love, obsession, and paranoia in a raw, emotional and sexually charged thriller based around the theme of Beethoven's classic sonata.

Starring Danny Huston (X MEN: WOLVERINE, HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE) as Edgar, a wealthy philanthropist who meets Abigail (Elisabeth Röhm - LAW & ORDER, HEROES), a beautiful and talented pianist. Their relationship rapidly develops into a passionate affair that knows no boundaries.

When Abby starts work on Beethoven's violin-piano duet, THE KREUTZER SONATA, with a handsome young violinist named Aiden (Matthew Yang King - NUMB3RS, CSI), Edgar is consumed with jealousy over a part of her life that he cannot share or compete with, and chaos ensues...
