The story was to take place in an old European city, which features an aesthetic and beauty of the old world and appeals to the longings of and aspirations for classical tradition and history. The story is of a young girl Anna whose love for classical piano and desire to become a concert pianist is sparked by her grandfather. Anna leaves her countryside hometown and moves to the big city to attend music boarding school and pursue her dreams. What keeps her going through difficult times are words of encouragement from her grandfather via their mobile devices, originally gifted to her by him. In the story's climactic moment, Anna's grandfather witnesses her grand debut in a big concert hall as she carries her smartphone on stage while Grandfather watches tearfully from his hospital bed.
