Martha Argerich is the last remaining pianist of legend.

For the very first time on camera, Martha Argerich shares with us her memories, confides in us her doubts, and transmits to us her incredible appetite for music making. Images of Argentina, rehearsals in the concert hall and at home, excerpts of recent concerts, and archival clips complete this unique film on one of the most secretive and endearing artists of our time.
