Glass, My unfulfilled Life', is the coming of age
story of a 52-year
old man pursuing a crazy childhood dream: becoming a musician on the
singing glasses. For a 7 years period, this docu-comedy follows
the hilarious and moving journey of our hapless (anti)hero, as he
seeks fame, love and fortune as a street musician: from building himself his first glass organ to a moving encounter with the famous composer Arvo Part, and from his first steps on the street to a disasterous misadventure in Dubai; ending in a never expected 'grand finale'.
A humorous, moving feel good
movie, and a celebration of the vitalizing powers of music.
