In Poland, music pupil Stefan (Lothaire Bluteau) wakes to find himself obsessed with a tune that seems familiar but can't be placed. On a tip from his teacher, Prof. Kern (Aleksander Bardini), Stefan visits reclusive composer Henry Kesdi (Max von Sydow), who once began writing a similar song but quit composing altogether when his wife died in the Holocaust. Although Kesdi has little interest in Stefan at first, he soon discovers that the student has special abilities that extend beyond music.
