Gifted musician Alex Stobbs is taking on his toughest artistic challenge yet. Follow this remarkable 16-year-old in his attempt to conduct Bach's Magnifcat at Eton while dealing with a virulent form of cystic fibrosis.
In this Cutting Edge film by Stephen Walker, we follow Alex over three extraordinary months as he sets out to achieve his goal. Filmed with almost unprecedented access to Eton, a school which rarely allows cameras inside its gates, the documentary charts the highs and lows of rehearsals as Alex pummels the school's orchestra into shape, meeting his teachers, his friends, his doctors and his family along the way.
