Anastasia Kobekina | Now or Never!
0000: Many share the dream of a global career - but what does it truly take to make that dream a reality?
Following the charismatic cellist Anastasia Kobekina, the documentary offers a unique look behind the closed doors of her record label, concert halls, and private life. Having started to play the cello at age four, Anastasia struggles with the decisions made for her and those she must make when asking herself: “Is it my choice or the choice of my parents?” Torn between her own and other people’s expectations, Anastasia forges her path through a demanding industry and inspires by proving her ambition, talent, and resilience.
