Der Solist (2009)
Kolumnist Steve Lopez ist immer auf der Suche nach einer guten Story. In Nathaniel Ayers findet er sie. Das auf den Straßen von Los Angeles lebende musikalische Genie leidet an Schizophrenie, die seiner möglichen Karriere als Cellist früh ein Ende setzte. Behutsam versucht Lopez den sanften, verwirrten Mann über die Musik wieder in sein altes Leben zurückzuführen. Ayers ist dankbar, nimmt schrittweise die Hilfe an, reagiert aber aggressiv, als Lopez seine eigenen Wünsche für Ayers' Leben über die seines neuen Freundes stellt.
