Strange Film
Friends raved about this film which was based on a true story, but the sound quality of the dvd (or my hearing) was much to be desired. Not for me I’m afraid, but they still loved watching it again!

Heartwarming True Story
This film is a real heart warming story of a gifted pianist, who due to a confused angry father lost the chance to showcase his talent to the world. The fact that it is also a true story adds to the beauty of the story. I would definitely recommend it.
