The piano man

'The Piano Man' tells the story of Pianist Michael. During rehearsals before the start of his concert, the piano sounds very out of tune. When Michael checks all the keys on the piano it becomes clear what is really inside the piano.

The piano man is an intriguing short film with a touch of humor. It makes you wonder where the line is between fiction and non-fiction.
