The storyline begins with Muza's childhood in the grip of the Soviet occupation regime. After winning the Liszt-Bartok International Piano Competition in Budapest, Muza starts receiving invitations to perform at Europe's foremost concert halls, but, alas, the Iron Curtain descends and she is no longer allowed to go abroad. Muza finally gets her chance in 1989 when the Soviet Union begins to collapse. Hard work eventually brings international recognition. The film depicts Muza's renewed battle with isolation as she is once again not fully able to perform due to the pandemic.
