A snowboarder, whose career was interrupted by an injury, meets a determined pianist who inspires him to pursue his Olympic dreams.

This short film is made for the "Chopin-Pletnev" disc which marked Mikhail Pletnev's debut as a pianist on Deutsche Grammophon. In the film, we witness Mr. Pletnev's journey, starting from him on his way to studio, through his performance of Chopin's Etude Op. 25 No. 7 in C sharp minor "The Cello" and the process afterwards. One is struck repeatedly by Pletnev's crystalline arpeggiations, the velocity of his passage work, his singing tone, his rhythmic suppleness, and, above all, the grandeur of his sound.

Luca wanders around aimlessly, devastated by his friend's passing in an unsolved murder case. As the night draws on, tormented by his paranoia, anxieties, and intrusive thoughts, Luca's memories take a sinister turn as his guilt consumes him. Teetering dangerously on the line of what is real and what is illusion, Luca's sanity begins to slip.
