i just saw this movie over the weekend with my girlfriend . we watch with subtitle a neither of u speak french . and aside for a few moment of be at a loss ( more because be american and it a french film ) and it be a great film . it a story of a relatively successful young man in the real estate business . his father have to beat up client to make them pay the bill . his deceased mother be a pianist . happen to come across his mother manager and he be provoke to regain his early talent at the piano . the movie document his travel in learn to play the piano all over again and his life along this path . with his father and colleague push him away from the piano and he gather more steam . but his day job keep him away from his hobby a everyone put it . he get increasingly frustrate with deal with everyone else problem and not be able to pursue his own challenge . this be the type of film that end and you be not sure if he reach his goal . but you know that he be happy at the conclusion of the film . my only qualm . i do not think a single scene go by without a cigarette be smoke . but then again and i think most of france have a cigarette lit .
