Icarus is an epic drama about the great heights achieved by legendary Polish jazz pianist
Mieczyslaw “Mietek” Kosz. Beginning in his childhood when he lost his sight at age 12, the biopic bears witness to the birth of his gifts, which included an uncanny ear for music and a determination shared only by true virtuosos. Ultimately, Kosz struggles to deal with the consequences of his fame, but experiences a rebirth when he meets the love of his life. (Adult content: sexual situations, nudity)
