    Summary:

    When the Nazis start closing in on Vienna, Jewish musical prodigy Lisa Jura is sent to London on the Kindertransport. As she makes a new life for herself, she dreams of reconnecting with the family she was forced to leave behind. The resulting tale delivers a message of the power of music to uplift the human spirit and to grant the individual soul endurance, patience, and peace.
