Lincoln Mayorga's poignant documentary tells the remarkable story of Sofia Cosma, a child prodigy, born in Latvia, who won renown in a Viennese piano competition in 1933. She witnessed Hitler's invasion of Austria in 1938 and was forced to return home where she spent seven years in a Soviet prison. Cosma’s indomitable spirit, humor, and love of music made it possible for her to move beyond her tragic past and embrace a full life, including a celebrated concert career.
