A gifted piano tuner with a unique auditory condition discovers an unexpected aptitude for cracking safes, turning his life upside down.

Daniel Roher, who won the 2022 Sundance Film Festival Favorite Award with Navalny en route to the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, makes his fiction feature directorial debut with the surprising and charming Tuner. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival to critical and audience acclaim, and we are thrilled to present the film to Sundance Film Festival audiences.

Dustin Hoffman and Leo Woodall share a crackling, tender chemistry as Harry and Niki, a veteran piano tech and his loyal apprentice. As Niki goes further down the criminal rabbit hole hoping to help his mentor — and meets a spirited music composition student (Havana Rose Liu) — the triumphant Tuner constantly shape-shifts in mood and tone — captivating as an odd-couple friendship, a tense thriller, and a charming romance in equal measure. — HZ
