Harry Belten, a hardware store clerk in a small Illinois town in 1959, is 64 years old when he unexpectedly sets a goal for himself and announces it: “A year from now I will perform The Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with a full orchestra in a regular symphony hall in the City of Springfield!” We follow him as he fights against all odds to achieve his goal, in his own particular way.
