The Pianist's Choice (2025)
During the Second World War, François Touraine, a young piano prodigy, has no choice but to go and play in Germany to save the woman he loves. Because Rachel is Jewish in an age that no longer allows it... A great story of love, music and resistance through time and the horrors of the Occupation and Nazism.
