Mount Everest

In this hybrid between documentary and fiction, Aria (48) is a an Iranian, big-bellied dreamer with grand gestures and kind eyes living in Copenhagen with wife and son. But the true love of his life, is his piano school where he teaches. Unfortunately he is blinded by his own passion and has neglected years of financial troubles - now threatening to bankrupt him and his family. At a rather absurd bank meeting he shows up with cardboards and a speaker to deliver an audio-visual presentation where Chopin's nocturnes is compared to a locomotive from 1830 to underline the present relevance of classical music - and thereby his piano school. Half way through his wife shows up unexpectedly. When they return home she is furious and forces him to confess to their son about their current state of living. After the humiliation he seeks comfort by his piano, the one stable thing in his life. Maybe he’s going to change, maybe not. Maybe the world just isn't suited for dreamers like him.
