Premiere
One adolescent comes from a good family, the other one lives in the streets and only follows his instinct. Both share the same passion for piano, but with different relationship to music. For the former, it is a challenge to take up through efforts. For the second one, it is the secret and playful expression of his nature.
Piano Forest subtlety questions the issues linked to learning: for whom and for what do we learn?
This film selected at Annecy Festival in 2008, is a tale where reality and magic are wonderfully intertwined.
