Nodame Cantabile in Europe

'You can't run from the music forever,' her teacher warned. But Nodame, the brilliant yet chaotic piano student, is perfectly content hiding in her messy apartment. When her exacting classmate and secret crush, the prodigy Shinichi Chiaki, secures a prestigious conductor's apprenticeship in Europe, her world tilts. Throwing sheet music and convenience store snacks into a suitcase, she follows him to Paris. This 2008 dramedy charts their discordant yet harmonious journey through the competitive conservatories and cramped apartments of the Continent, where mastering a sonata is easy compared to mastering their own hearts.
