The fairy tale story of mythical musician Sergiu Celibidache. From a small town in Moldvavia, Romania to the top of the classical world as the chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonics, the child prodigy will follows his dreams against all odds (experiencing World War II in bombarded Berlin) and will refuse to accept any compromises along the way.

When an elderly man returns to his family home after decades of absence, the apparition of his childhood sweetheart triggers a rewind to the life-changing events from his youth.

Director Serge Ioan Celebidachi spent one year filming his 80-year-old father, Sergiu Celibidache in various activities, including the man at work conducting Mozart's Requiem, Bruckner's Symphony No. 9, and Bartok's Concert for Orchestra -- unusual because Celibidache has always refused to record his work. The conductor was also interviewed in his garden, and after a lengthy two-and-a-half hours with him, viewers will better understand this sometimes controversial man, alternately accused of being a dictator or a genius, but who clearly has a deep love and talent for making great music. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
