After the Second World War, budding film composer Jerry Herst moves to Hollywood to study with infamous master teacher Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
"This is the biography of Italian-born composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, who moved to the United States where he would eventually work in an industry that had only discovered sound ten years prior: cinema. In Hollywood, Castelnuovo-Tedesco composed the soundtrack for over 200 films and, more importantly, was the mentor of names that would later redefine the Seventh Art - such as John Williams, Andre Previn, and Jerry Goldsmith, as well as influencing Stanley Kubrick and Gene Kelly. 'The Maestro' recounts this entire journey and the creative process of the musician, as well as bringing his worries and doubts, in a true gem for cinema fans."
