‘What I didn’t know was that just as I was searching for my friend, my friend was also searching for me. And that search had started a long time ago.’

This is the story of a friendship between a young girl and her piano.

The piano was made many decades before the girl was born. And it travelled from Leipzig, Germany, through war-torn France and England-to come to Calcutta during the independence struggle. Finally the girl and the piano found one another, until circumstances separated them . . .

This is a story of love and loss, of unexpected bonds and loneliness, and above all, it is a celebration of the power of music.
