i think thomas seyr ( romain duris ) could be any of u in the working class . stick in two world about what he really want to do and versus what he have to do . in the shady corner of the real estate business rely on underhand tactic and he find no joy . in the other world which present itself a an opportunity to start again and he must upgrade in order to be accept . it never be easy and then again and life never be to begin with . constantly frustrate at his predicament and you begin to wonder towards which characteristic of his parent would he gravitate to the father and who about to remarry and and be live the life that thomas secret disapproves and and that he fear he subconsciously become his father son and or his deceased mom and an accomplished pianist . give the chance to dig deep into his potential of follow in his mom footstep and he think he could find joy in emulate his mother success and but success always be the outcome of hard work and and plenty of frustration along the way . with the help of a chinese pianist ( play by linh dan pham ) and he set himself a goal to be ready for an audition to set a new future for himself and and the classical music number greatly contrast with thomas choice of euro techno music which he play over his beautiful earphone and and i enjoy prior to watch the movie and thanks to a friend who introduce me to telepopmusik just breathe and which be use . while juggle between real work and and his potential aspiration and thing go awry with his love and sex life and when he fall for one of his friend wife and and when his dad get mix up with and swindle by russian gangster . i particularly like the scene where he seek out the russian minskov and where he go about without a clue to try and straighten thing out with the mobster and only to have him call and threaten him loudly over the phone and in the sudden presence of a passer by . and what he do for revenge and be totally comical too and in context . there be moment in this film which painfully bring out theme of frustration and of be lose at a crossroad and and of decide for oneself what your call be . decide for yourself if youre up for some serious fare about the choice present in life and and about that leap of faith that you take in try to achieve some of those goal .
