[The journey of redemption of soul and musical notes]
"You are playing music, and I can hear the silent voice in your heart."
International pianist Zhou Qinglan has perfect technique, but she fell into an artistic crisis due to a sharp music review. Until she met the mysterious man with a scar on his chin in a shabby cafe in the corner of the city——
Cheng Hao can diagnose her mood with a cup of coffee, can use an old piano to play interpretations that she dare not try, and can see through the holes in her gorgeous playing at a glance. This man who calls himself "just a barista" has a more exquisite piano skill than her hidden in his fingertips, but the curse of tinnitus lingers in his ears that can never be shaken off.
When Zhou Qinglan insisted on exploring his past, a buried incident at the music school surfaced:
- Why does the forbidden song called "Blackbird" drive the performer crazy?
- What is the connection between Cheng Hao's scar on his chin and his lost fifteen years of music career?
- What secrets are hidden in the locked piano room in the basement of the cafe?
"The perfection you want is in the score, and the redemption I want is in your eyes."
From tit-for-tat musical concepts to the bond of life and death, when Zhou Qinglan temporarily changed the repertoire at the international competition finals, and when Cheng Hao stepped onto the stage where he had escaped his whole life with tinnitus, the two broken souls finally heard each other's truest voices in this all-consuming ensemble.
