Philosophers (and inquisitive minds) wonder: “How should we live?” Composer and pianist Seymour Bernstein has been cultivating an answer over 50 years. Crippled by stage-fright as a younger man, Bernstein chose to forgo a promising career as a concert pianist, choosing instead to teach the piano to the gifted. Over decades, Bernstein has developed a profound and breathtakingly clear view on life and art. Oscar-winning actor Ethan Hawke directs a quietly observant portrait of his humble mentor and friend. Discerning film lovers will delight in this documentary, filled as it is with sublime music, enlightening discussion and more than a little wisdom.
