Overview
Like his father, Tom is a real estate agent who makes his money from dirty, and sometimes brutal, deals. But a chance encounter prompts him to take up the piano and become a concert pianist. He auditions with the help of a beautiful, young virtuoso pianist who cannot speak French - music is their only exchange. But pressures from the ugly world of his day job soon become more than he can handle...
It’s been said that art is a key component in any progressive society. In this film we see a man that appears somewhat damaged and not happy with the career and life around. A chance meeting reminds him that he used to be an aspiring piano player. From there we see him struggle with his current lifestyle as well as the pent-up feelings of anger that are unresolved. The final scene is a perfect summary of his journey.
