What happens

La pianista bambina è un documentario del 2011 diretto da Flaminia Lubin, liberamente ispirato dal libro Hiding in the spotlight: A Musical Prodigy's Story of Survival, 1941-1946 best seller internazionale del 2009 di Greg Dawson (tradotto in italiano col titolo La pianista bambina), che racconta l'esperienza di sopravvivenza della madre ebrea e della sorella durante l'invasione nazista dell'Europa Orientale e del successivo dopoguerra. Il documentario è stato realizzato con il patrocinio della Comunità Ebraica di Roma. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
