The story

Sebastian Giro is a ten-year-old French boy and child musical prodigy found in an orphanage by Mr Gorik who exploits the youngster’s talent as a classical pianist and turns him into an international celebrity. He even tells everyone that the boy is only seven years old to make the boy wonder’s talent seem all the more remarkable. But Gorik is also a crook who embezzles the takings so that he has almost all the money and Sebastian gets hardly any.
