Blind from birth, 20 year old pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's handicap, if a drawback at all, never affected his ability to play the piano. Set against the backdrop of the music of Liszt, Beethoven, Mussorgsky, and other inspiring piano masterpieces, this film will be an inspiration to all people who face disabilities, hurdles, or obstacles in life. When Gold Medalist Nobuyuki Tsujii rose from the piano, having completed his performance at the Thirteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in May, 2009, audience members leapt to their feet and jurors were moved to tears by his passionate interpretations. The extraordinary and poignant performances by the young pianist from Japan, and the resulting audience impact, has taken on a momentum that Time Magazine coined "Nobu Fever".
