The Competition backdrop

The Competition 1980 Directed by Joel Oliansky

If you're really in love... nothing's going to stand in your way

The movie centers on a piano competition whose winner is assured of success. It is Paul's last chance to compete, but newcomer Heidi may be a better pianist. Can romance be far away? Will she take a dive despite the pressure to win from her teacher, Greta, or will she condemn Paul to obscurity?
