The documentary pays attention to the prestige of time-honored competition known as the gateway to the world’s top-class performers and unveils the cinematic moment of the first Korean winner who received the loan of the Stradivarius violin, Huggins. Art continues inside the fierce competition. The documentary captures the passion and fierce competition of young violinists who ceaselessly struggle and practice to play the new unprecedented piece, as well as their beautiful melodies in the screen. Even though these violinists are the world’s top players, they struggle just like ordinary people. Their youth is no different from the ordinary people. Finalist is a story of ordinary and special youth who think about their future and try to accept the reality inside the fierce competition.
