Mahler on the Couch

Two legendary Austrians come face to face under less than ideal circumstances in this comedy-drama from the father and son directing team of Percy Adlon and Felix Adlon. Gustav Mahler (Johannes Silberschneider) is one of Europe's best-respected composers and he's married to Alma (Barbara Romaner), a woman who is beautiful, talented and intelligent. However, Mahler is not a happy man; his work has not been progressing well, and his marriage is in sad shape, in part because Alma is having an affair with another man.
