Synopsis

Twenty-four year old American born Alam Khan is traveling to India on his first concert tour without his ailing father, legendary Indian classical maestro sarodist Ali Akbar Khan. Alam knows that soon he will have to play and live life without his father’s guidance and support. When Alam feels the weight of living up to his family’s North Indian Classical music tradition, he remembers his father’s advice: ’Don’t worry, Play like a Lion!’ —IMDb
