Fabled American jazz pianist and composer Keith Jarrett’s iconic January 1975 performance in Cologne - which culminated in one of the most culturally significant albums of all time - nearly never happened. 

Based on a true story, the film follows the young, driven concert promoter Vera Brandes as she conceives and organises the event against all odds. 

From securing the venue and selling tickets to persuading Jarrett to perform when the promised Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano is missing, Vera’s determination is tested at every turn. 

The film reveals the compelling and little-known story behind Jarrett’s one-hour , entirely improvised concert, which went on to become the best-selling solo jazz album in history.
