At the beginning of the film, Spearman, the hero, plays Chopin's serenade in C sharp minor on the radio station in Warsaw. Suddenly, the performance is interrupted by German artillery fire. The quiet life in Poland is broken by the war, and the Jewish nightmare begins. . . . . .

After that, Warsaw fell, Spearman's family sold their pianos for a living and moved into the Jewish quarter. Spearman also made a living by playing the piano in a pub. After the German persecution of the Jews in Warsaw, the whole family finally entered a concentration camp. . . . . . . . With the help of my friends, I escaped from the tiger's mouth and lived a life of hiding in the east and hiding in Tibet. In those dark days, I can only comfort myself by playing silently in front of the piano and remembering the melody silently in my heart, but no one expected that his piano art saved his life at a critical moment. . . . . .

The climax of the film appears near the end. In the winter of 1944, the Germans were losing ground on the Eastern Front, and Warsaw was surrounded by Soviet troops. Victory and liberation were just around the corner. For the protagonist Spearman, this may be the last darkness before dawn, but an accident happened-

When Spearman lived in an abandoned building, he heard the sound of German cars and German conversations coming from downstairs, so he had no choice but to hide in the attic. At this time, the melody of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata came from the piano downstairs ... I don't know how long it took. Hungry Spearman probably thought that the Germans had left, so he went downstairs to find a tool to pry the lid of the can, and the can accidentally fell to the ground, and the water inside spilled out. Spearman lovingly picked up the canned food and held it in her arms. Suddenly-a German officer in a German uniform appeared in front of him. What does a man in a German uniform mean to him? After five years of inhuman life under Nazi hands, Spearman knows very well!

What are you doing here?

Spearman answered, "Open this can."

The German officer asked him, "Are you hiding here?"

Spearman said nothing.

"What do you do?"

Spearman answered, "Pianist."

So the officer took him to a room with a piano in it!

"Then play something"

Looking at the piano for a long time, Spearman was silent. He sat down in front of the piano, as if thinking about something, so the music like water overflowed from the fingers flowing on the keyboard!

this is Chopin's first ballad. "
