Celebrated jazz pianist, charmer, and womanizer - how does this fit with a fragile and deformed body? The story of jazz musician Michel Petrucciani is one of the most touching artist biographies of the 20th century. His father discovered Petrucciani's musical talent and tirelessly pushed his son despite his brittle bone disease. This was followed by a spectacular rise, great fame, and awe-inspiring recognition. Petrucciani's life was, on one hand, a struggle and constant pain - on the other hand, an insatiable enjoyment of excesses and celebrations.
