What’s it about?
Niki (Leo Woodall) isi a brilliant pianist whose musical career goes up in smoke when he develops a devastating hearing condition called Hyperacusis that causes him acute pain whenever loud noises occur.
He has to wear ear plugs at all times, but because of it, his hearing becomes so acute, it actually makes him an ideal piano tuner, a job that requires pinpoint, pitch-perfect ability, something that helps his 88-year-old partner Harry Horowitz (Dustin Hoffman)r in a small business for tuning.
The pair service various customers with pianos in higher end homes and discover that Niki’s skills can be applied to cracking the safes of their ultra-wealthy clientele, too.
