A well known conductor loses his son, a virtuoso violinist during a performance. The doctors say it was a heart attack that struck the young man, given his poor constitution, he did not survive. His daughter, herself a pianist, and wife all mourn his loss and seek assistance in the process from a therapist. The conductor, most hard hit, goes on a 2 month tour to help get over the loss and during the tour appears to have recovered, but upon returning, hears his son’s music from the studio, and speaks as though he is still alive. The daughter, who has always played second fiddle (haha) to her more talented brother, dearly wants her father’s love and attention and seeks to help him through this terrible time.
