There are currently 40 million piano students in China. With many practising up to ten hours a day, pianomania has truly gripped the nation. We follow three young hopefuls and their dedicated families as they chase their dreams in the ultra-competitive world of piano education. This is both an intimate portrait of remarkably talented young musicians and a glimpse into the lives of the new Chinese middle class: their aspirations, their sacrifices and their sheer drive to succeed.
In cinemas 24th May 2024.

    My favorite part of the whole opera scene was when the conductor heard pounding at his door waking him up and when he looks out the window, he sees the nkvd is taking people in his apartment complex away. He thinks him and his wife are potentially getting arrested and he says goodbye to his wife thinking he or his wife was about to be sent to the gulag but when he opens the door, it’s a person from the concert smiling and politely saying they need him to conduct a concert. I could only imagine the relief and confusion he must have been feeling once he opened the door. 😂

    Maria Yudina was lucky Stalin didn't put her in prisonor send her to the Gulag. She might have been asking for him to free one of her friends. She was the only music this philistine was ever touched by. She knew he was heartless. I don't know if that scene in movie happened. She said they were woken out of bed to make a record that didn't exist. Can u imagine terrors under this pretRump and preDeSantis type of person.
