Synopsis
Michel Petrucciani suffered from a strange bone disease that condemned him to be extremely small, less than 3,2 feet tall. However, that did not stop him from developing his musical skills and becoming a virtuoso jazz pianist able to break barriers and become the stuff of legend with his performances. Renowned director Michael Radford pays tribute to the French pianist, who died in 1999, through archival images and interviews with his relatives and those who got to know him better.
