Shine is the compelling and poignant story of a young man (Geoffrey Rush) who defies his father's wishes in order to pursue his dreams. Both thought-provoking and powerful, it tells a story of rebellion and individuality through the eyes of a pianist whose only form of self-expression is found in the keys of his instrument.
