Overview & Credits

FILM OVERVIEW

Pianists often hit a nadir in both their performances and personal lives. Even social gatherings with friends left him feeling drained. Despite heading to the studio for a recording session, he found himself overshadowed by the arrival of a renowned star. As his circumstances worsened, the pressure to cozy up to influential figures mounted with his growing fame.

He felt a sense of estrangement from the divine, sensing he had somehow offended the higher powers. Desperate to reconcile, he yearned to compose a piece that would praise the gods, but his efforts proved futile. The night before a crucial concert, a call from his agent, Li Ge, overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse. As he fell, a young pianist swiftly took his place, garnering even more acclaim, halting his career in its tracks.

Though his secular career came crashing down, a spiritual awakening occurred within the confines of a church. Guided by his brother, he sought solace in God's embrace, shedding tears of repentance and relief.

At a gathering of believers, he performed "I Call to You, Lord Jesus Christ," radiating the warmth of God's love to all present.
