Concert pianist Anat‘s waters break while she is playing. Devastatingly, her son proves deaf. The `Baby Mozart` CD her father gives her can go straight in the bin. However, Anat`s will to raise a piano genius who would befit her respected musical family only becomes stronger, and she takes drastic measures to make this happen. Composed as a moral parable with a touch of thriller, God of the Piano tells the story of a mother – played with great reserve by Naama Preis – whose obsessive behaviour and mile-high expectations threaten to crush her child, just as she was once crushed. While focusing on mother-son relations, the film also explores the uncertain nature of prodigy. Is talent inherited? Is there a secret tension or even an interplay between giftedness and averageness? And – most importantly – what price does a person, be it adult or child, pay for being labelled a genius?◎获奖情况 第48届鹿特丹国际电影节(2019) 大银幕奖(提名) Itay Tal
