Tomura a dix-sept ans lorsqu'il rencontre un grand piano noir à l'odeur de forêt. Un coup de coeur qui devient une vocation : il sera accordeur ! Mais lui qui vit dans un petit village au coeur des montagnes et n'a jamais écouté de musique pourra-t-il réaliser son rêve ?
Il faudra à Tomura beaucoup d'humilité, de générosité, traverser doutes et incertitudes, pour atteindre à la maîtrise de son métier. Il se coule dans le désir de chaque musicien pour qui il travaille, entend résonner ses histoires, ses joies et ses peines à travers son instrument, à la recherche du son juste, de l'accord plein.
Pour faire résonner cette harmonie intérieure qu'il éprouvait dans la forêt de son enfance.

What he experienced that day wasn't life-changing . . . It was life-making.
Tomura is startled by the hypnotic sound of a piano being tuned in his school. It seeps into his soul and transports him to the forests, dark and gleaming, that surround his beloved mountain village. From that moment, he is determined to discover more.
Under the tutelage of three master piano-tuners - one humble, one cheery, one ill-tempered - Tomura embarks on his training, never straying too far from a single, unfathomable question: do I have what it takes?
Set in small-town Japan, this warm and mystical story is for the lucky few who have found their calling - and for the rest of us who are still searching. It shows that the road to finding one's purpose is a winding path, often filled with treacherous doubts and, for those who persevere, astonishing moments of revelation.
