A father's love. A son's gift. A family's incredible journey.

Chen Kaige, director of the Oscar-nominated Farewell My Concubine, composes a richly imagined and "tender symphony" (Screen International) about love, ambition and destiny in China's high-pressure world of classical music. Surging with "warmth, humanity and a sense of humor" (The Hollywood Reporter) , this lyrical, enchanting "heartwarmer" (Variety) is a "sure fire crowd pleaser" (Los Angeles Times)!

When a violin prodigy Xiaochun and his father head to Beijing seeking fame and fortune, they soon discover a fierce world of cutthroat ambition. But when Xiaochun is "adopted" by a famous music tutor, success finally seems within reach - until a shocking discovery begins to unravel his entire world, and the boy must make the most difficult choice of his life. Can he achieve the fame his father had always hoped for without losing the extraordinary passion that sets him apart?
