David Helfgott plays what he feels, says what he thinks, and touches people – in the true sense of the word. The filmmaker Cosima Lange embarks on a journey into the special world of David Helfgott. His wife Gillian is always at his side. She helped him, after long periods of suffering in numerous psychiatric clinics, to find his way back to life. We see a musician in all his unique impulsiveness on stages large and small and with the Stuttgart Symphonic Orchestra on a European tour.
