About the film
Everybody has one hidden talent.
What it’s about
Niki, a piano tuner in London, lives with hyperacusis, a condition that makes him acutely sensitive to sound. His mentor and partner, Harry, is hospitalized, and Niki faces mounting medical bills. He discovers that his tuning skills and fine-tuned ear can be applied to cracking safes, and he decides to join a gang of thieves to help pay for Harry's treatment.
What hooks you
Daniel Roher directs, with Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman in the cast. The film's premise turns a tuner's precision into a safecracker's tool, blending crime and music. Niki's personal crisis drives the tension, as his unusual ability pulls him into a world of theft.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who like character-driven crime stories where an unusual ability creates moral conflict. Those drawn to music-themed dramas and slow-building thrillers will find much to appreciate, as will anyone interested in stories about disability and adaptation.
