My third film at Calarts. A few weeks before the big competition, piano prodigy Hayden Chan gets into a musician block, leaving him to wonder why he is making music in the first place. While trying to find motivation to play the piano, a mysterious yet charming melody of a flute, seeming to be from a neighbour, catches his attention.
在比賽前的幾週，九歲的鋼琴家陳梓傑練習時遇到迷惘，加上母親嚴格的責罵，開始懷疑自己當初為什麼愛上音樂。在努力尋找彈奏的動力時，一段來自鄰居的長笛旋律吸引了他的注意。
