Greatest Hits

Cass Wheeler - a British singer-songwriter, hugely successful since the early 70s, whose sudden disappearance from the music world three decades later has been the subject of intense speculation among her fans - is in the studio that adjoins her home, taking a journey back into her past. Her task is to choose sixteen songs from among the hundreds she has written since her early teens, for a uniquely personal Greatest Hits record, describing the arc of her life through song.

It has been over a decade since Cass last put out an album; ten years since a tragedy catapulted her into a breakdown. In the course of this one day - both ordinary and extraordinary - each song Cass plays sets off a chain of memories, leading us deep into her past, and into the creative impulse that has underpinned her work.

This is the story of a life - the highs and lows, love and separation, success and failure. Of what it is to live a fulfilled life, and how to make peace with our mistakes.

Cass Wheeler - o cantareata-compozitoare britanica, de mare succes de la inceputul anilor 70, a carei disparitie brusca din lumea muzicala trei decenii mai tarziu a facut obiectul unor speculatii intense in randul fanilor ei - se afla in studioul care se invecineaza cu casa ei, facand o calatorie inapoi in trecutul ei. Sarcina ei este de a alege saisprezece melodii dintre sutele pe care le-a scris inca de la adolescenta, pentru un disc personal personalizat de Greatest Hits, care descrie arcul vietii sale prin melodie. A trecut peste un deceniu de cand Cass a lansat ultimul album; zece ani de cand o tragedie a catapultat-o intr-o defectiune.
