| Summary |
Documentary film about the inspiring pianist Norman Malone. At age 10, Norman - already an accomplished pianist - was attacked and left paralyzed on his right side. Undaunted, he began a lifelong quest to reclaim his place at the piano, mastering some of the most difficult music ever written for left hand alone, and never telling anyone of his deepening virtuosity. Not until he was 78 did Malone reveal his story (to the Chicago Tribune), prompting belated invitations to perform. Nearly 70 years after his tragic attack, Malone realizes a long-delayed dream to play with an orchestra. |
