The film's maker, Scott Hicks, stumbled across eccentric pianist David Helfgott in an Australian restaurant. When he discovered the story behind the musician, he decided it would make a moving film.
Shine tells how David (played by Geoffrey Rush), is as a child pushed to excel as a pianist by his strict father. When he shows extraordinary talent, he comes to the attention of a well-known international musician who offers him a scholarship to study in the United States. But his father cannot stand the thought of losing his son and forbids the move.
David forms a strong relationship with an elderly writer (Googie Withers) who urges him to accept, when another opportunity to study abroad comes up. This time, David accepts but is banished from home by his father.
At London's Royal College of Music, he studies under a legendary professor, Cecil Parkes (John Gielgud), who recognises his genius.
