CONCERTO FOR OTHER HANDS

Synopsis

For as long as he can remember, David has dreamed of becoming a pianist just like his father, José Luis. However, he was born with a body that prevents him from doing so: short and bent arms, small hands with four fingers that he can barely move, and limited hearing. Thanks to his persistence, David finds his own way to play the piano and makes his way in the music scene. Wanting his son to become established as a professional pianist, José Luis composes the Piano concerto for 8 fingers, which presents a new challenge for David: to play with an orchestra that he can hardly hear.
