Considered to be one of the most prestigious competitions in classical music, the International Chopin Piano Competition, held in Warsaw every five years since 1927, has been a career launchpad for such piano virtuosos as Krystian Zimerman, Mitsuko Uchida, Kevin Kenner, and Vladimir Ashkenazy. This fly-on-the-philharmonic-wall documentary takes us on a roller coaster of a classical ride, where we meet some of the most talented, young professional piano players from all over the world as they navigate the pressure and drama.
