Producer/director Chiara Viale and actor Cillein McEvoy will be on hand tonight for the first U.S. screening of this award-winning film - 2019 Winner of the Spirit of IndieCork Festival.

Adrian is a world-renown pianist on the cusp of a promising career, but a crippling diagnosis pulls his life and dreams apart from one. Young Onset Parkinson's Disease causes Adrian to go underground, disguised as a university student in Dublin. Fate lands him in a shared apartment with three punk musicians who woo him into their lifestyle and out of his personal funk. While once Carnegie Hall was a destination, his new life is the fruit of making the best of the bad.

The CIFF presents screenings in partnership with the Consul General of Ireland-Chicago, Ireland Network – Chicago, and IFI-International & Culture Ireland to strategically build an audience for Irish film through worldwide cultural exhibition.
