Plot synopsis
Viktor Tikhomirov directed his only female portrait film about virtuoso pianist Polina Osetinskaya. She started playing the piano at the age of five, and at the age of six she gave her first solo concert at the Vilnius Philharmonic Orchestra. Every day, the young pianist rehearsed for 14 to 16 hours, learned 10 poems and ran 10 kilometers. In the film, she talks about childhood, strict discipline, and the vivid imagery she imagined to visualize music. The film uses recordings from the pianist's personal archives, shots from the film "Killed by the Light" by Yevgeny Yufit and video chronicles from the 1980s - Osetinskaya's first interviews.
