A sensitive and intimate portrait of Livia Rév (born in 1916), a celebrated pianist worldwide in the 1950s and 1960s. Through a life-history interview, and with extensive use of archival material, the film gives an insight into the life of an artist, who was born in a Jewish family in Budapest, survived the Holcaust thanks to Raoul Wallenberg, and emmigrated to Paris after the Communist takeover in Hungary. Most memorable sequences of the film are the ones depicting the life of a student of Ernő Dohnányi at the Hungarian Music Academy in the early 1940s and the ones about the life in the Jewish ghetto in Budapest 1944-1945.
