Na manhã de 26 de maio de 1828, na cidade de Nuremberg, um rapaz foi abandonado com uma pequena carta endereçada ao capitão da cidade. Os habitantes acharam que o rapaz fosse doente ou tivesse alguma deficiência, pois não conseguia andar e sequer se comunicar. A carta dizia seu nome, Kaspar Hauser, e explicava que toda a vida ele havia passado preso em uma torre, nunca aprendendo nada ou vivendo em sociedade. Após ser adotado por uma família e aprender a falar, o rapaz contou que até o dia em que foi abandonado jamais havia visto antes o rosto de uma pessoa. Kaspar tornou-se um fenômeno entre a realeza alemã, principalmente pela aptidão assustadora que tinha para a música, mas era incapaz de diferenciar sonhos e realidade e não conseguia compreender as convenções sociais, como a política e a religião. O filme é baseado em fatos reais. (e 12 - Estimado 12 Anos)
