About the movie. Andriu, a student at the Schaefer School of Music, dreams of becoming a great drummer. Apparently, the dream of a talented guy is within reach - the young man is noticed by the conductor of the country's best jazz orchestra, who is called a genius behind the scenes. Gradually, Andrew's desire to become the best turns into an obsession and obsession, and Fletcher, who conducts the orchestra with an iron fist, pushes him more and more beyond the limits of human capabilities. But is Andrew determined to realize his dream according to the conductor's radical and incomprehensible whims, or will they break the young talented musician?
