However, when Tatyana’s new friend, Yuri, tries using his unique physiotherapy techniques on Nikolai, he discovers the boy has an extraordinary gift for music and begins teaching him to play the piano. With each note he learns and every melody he masters, Nikolai’s condition improves. Not only does he gain mobility, but he also blossoms into an exceptional musician.
