SHINE – DER WEG INS LICHT

Piano prodigy David Helfgott grows up under the shadow of an overbearing father who both nurtures and stifles his talent. His journey to becoming a celebrated pianist is marked by pressure, isolation and a mental breakdown. Hicks tells this biographical story as a delicate balance between genius and vulnerability, elevating music to an expression of inner states. An Oscar nomination for Armin Mueller-Stahl – and an award for Geoffrey Rush.
