Synopsis

When the Chopin piano contest begins, Kai Ichinose, Shuuhei Amamiya, and dozens of aspiring pianists from across the globe compete under strict evaluation to claim the top prize. The environment is unforgiving—well-known prodigies can be eliminated—and each participant approaches the stage for different reasons: financial need, family obligations, or the desire to have their musical voice heard. Ultimately, advancement depends on who can best channel the essence of Frédéric Chopin’s music for future listeners. As the competition tightens, personal rivalries, friendships, and familial relationships are challenged, and every pianist struggles to discover and present their unique interpretation.
