The Maestro is an American historical drama that follows Jerry Herst, a man who aspires to write music for the movies. Legendary composer and teacher Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (Xander Berkeley) takes Jerry on as a student and mentors him in the art of music composition. This beautifully acted film explores the creative process and artistic struggle, showing that they can both create conflicts and unite artists across generational divides.
