Documentary Description
Is there really such a thing as the mad genius? Can an illness be
both a blessing and a curse? At seven years old, Nick van Bloss started
shaking his head, grinding his teeth and making wild whooping noises.
Nick had Tourette’s syndrome. No medical intervention helped him. But
one activity stopped it all…
The moment Nick placed his hands on the piano keys
his symptoms vanished. By the age of 20, he was an award winning
international pianist. He felt sure that his illness had made him the
success he was.
But there is a catch. The brain state necessary for his genius can
also be dangerously close to mental chaos. Nick’s personal journey
reveals how close he came to the edge and how determined he is to
triumph
