"A warm and witty portrait of child prodigy and world-famous classical musician Glenn Gould. Glenn was a child who knew his own mind, he liked boats but did not like fishing; he enjoyed puns and pranks, but did not like bullying; he loved learning but did not like school... but more, than anything else, he loved to play the piano.

And in the safety of his cave he can imagine a world where friends control their own destinies and distance is no obstacle.
