This is the short synopsis for Eugenio Mira's film, Grand Piano, opening commercially on March 7th:
Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood), the most talented pianist of his generation, has stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public for a long awaited concert in Chicago. In a packed theater, in front of an expectant audience, Tom finds a message written on the score: "Play one wrong note and you die."In the sights of an anonymous sniper (John Cusack), Tom must get through the most difficult performance of his life and look for help without being detected.
Miro has served as director, screenwriter, and composer on his own films; and has composed music for Nacho Vigalondo's Time Crimes under the name Chucky Namanera — not a misspelling or misstatement of facts.
