It takes place every 5 years in Warsaw and is attended by the most talented and respected pianists. The emotional stakes are high, which is understandable given it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. The protagonists of the film are several young participants of the competition from different parts of the world, whose sole focus from childhood have been playing the piano. They all share a similar dream and will be mercilessly tested by the competition mechanism.
