Plot

A talented teenager named Doina is training for an important international piano selection, but the piano is not her real passion and soon she has to choose whether to follow the path everyone else has planned for her or seek her own.

Release

The film had its World Premiere at the Monaco International Film Festival on December 2, 2010, and subsequently screened at multiple film festivals around the world, including the Gasparilla Film Festival, one of Tampa Bay's largest independent film festivals, and the Phoenix Film Festival, the largest attended festival in Arizona.

Critical reception

The selection of Doina by the GIFF was covered by the Tampa Tribune. Film critic Walt Belcher stated "Among the international films is Doina, an award-winning effort by 23-year-old Italian filmmaker Nikolas Grasso. It's about a 16-year-old girl training for a piano competition." James Stanford of The Coast stated, "As an international short, the music is the theme and primary subject for a film that begs you to open your shell and follow the rhythm of your own tune. Rest assured, this had audiences cheering."
