After the father in a small family dies, his wife carries on trying to promote the musical career of their young and blind son. The father was an acclaimed violinist and his son wants to be just like him. He practices and keeps up communication with a pen pal from the Vienna Boy's Choir but tragedy strikes when it is discovered that he has leukemia. Meanwhile, his sister, who has a natural talent for the violin, has stayed in the background so her brother can advance as much as possible.
