A deeply humanistic drama about a musician who discovers that inspiring others becomes a greater legacy than personal ambition, told with warmth and quiet wisdom.

In 1965, passionate musician Glenn Holland takes a day job as a high school music teacher, convinced it's just a small obstacle on the road to his true calling: writing a historic opus. As the decades roll by with the composition unwritten but generations of students inspired through his teaching, Holland must redefine his life's purpose.
