Abejas y truenos lejanos

Tender and intense, Bees and Distant Thunder is the unwavering story of love, bravery, and rivalry of three young men who are beginning to understand the meaning of friendship. In a small seaside town, a stone's throw from Tokyo, a prestigious piano competition is being held. Throughout two feverish weeks, three musicians will experience some of the happiest (and most painful) moments of their lives. They don't know it yet, but each one will profoundly and unpredictably change the others forever. Aya was a piano virtuoso who gave up performing after her mother's death and is now looking to return to the stage. Masaru, a childhood friend of Aya's who started playing the piano at her insistence, meets her again after many years, and is determined that the two of them succeed. Akashi, married and in his early thirties, works at a music store and is the "old man" of the competition, though he is hoping for one last chance to succeed. And Jin, a sixteen-year-old prodigy, is a free spirit, the son of a beekeeper who travels endlessly; He has no professional training (and no piano either), but his captivating vision of music caught the eye of one of the world's most celebrated pianists, the late Maestro Von Hoffmann. Each one of them will break the rules, amaze his followers and push themselves to the limit. But at what price?
