After a Polish music student hears a haunting melody in one of his dreams, his unflagging obsession with the tune quickly leads him to the door of Henry Kesdi. Though once a gifted classical composer, Kesdi, a Holocaust survivor, has succumbed to the lure of the bottle and hasn't written a thing in years. The student tries desperately to convince the old master to give life, and music, a second chance; but the reluctant composer must be persuaded over time. Once brought around, the test of Kesdi's resolve will be the writing of a new and complex symphony -- one based on the theme that has been dancing around in the young student's head. [More]
