there's been a lot of speculation about the relationship between Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann and the young upstart Johannes Brahms. What really went on with those three radical composers? Cut to the present. the marriage between Maya, a former dancer, and Richard, a famous conductor, is on the rocks. When she buys him Clara's piano to help mend their crumbling relationship she inadvertently unleashes the passions and ghosts locked inside all that ivory and wood.

Not Wanted On the Voyage
Synopsis:
everyone knows the story of the great flood. It's the gospel truth, after all. But as Noah's wife tells it, it's a different story all together. Hers is the story of a dictator husband, a talking cat, hymn-singing sheep and the end of the world. In her version, all things bright and beautiful were drowned - almost. This isn't the story we all know. This is the gospel according to her.
