Universal critical acclaim and numerous film awards, including a Best Actor Academy Award for Geoffrey Rush, make Shine a “must-see” motion picture. Inspired by the true story of Australian child prodigy David Helfgott, Shine examines his journey from a childhood dominated by an overbearing father to his nervous breakdown as a young adult. When David is accepted to a prestigious music school in London as a teen, he's only too happy to escape his home life and pursue his passion for classical music. But his father's rejection and the pressures of mastering such concertos as Rachmaninoff's lead to his downward spiral into mental illness. Only the love of the one woman who truly understands him (Lynn Redgrave) can help him re-enter society and share his musical gifts with the world.
