Set amongst the unlikely backdrop of cowboy boots, rodeos, and global geopolitics, this story depicts the time when thirty of the world’s most promising musicians travel to Fort Worth, Texas to compete in the renowned Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Vying for gold and their shot at classical piano stardom, the contestants must endure six intense performances, multiple elimination rounds and a discerning panel of jurors.
Behind the scenes, the documentary uncovers the stories of adversity, sacrifice, and heartbreak driving the pianists to perform at the highest level. As fan favourites and early contenders are eliminated, one unassuming genius rises to the top.
