Harry Belten

Harry Belten is a 64-year-old hardware store employee from a small town in Illinois, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he announces that he will perform Mendelssohn's demanding violin concerto with a symphony orchestra in Springfield. This announcement stirs significant reactions within his community, as it raises financial concerns and prompts doubts about his mental state. Despite the pushback, Belten, who has played the violin for 30 years and has long dreamed of performing, remains determined to fulfill his lifelong wish of playing in a concert, even if it's just once.
