Before the Concert

Three scenes in the life of a cello player who is successful and famous as a musician, but stays helpless in his everyday relationships with the people closest to him. The film is structured into three fractured, seemlingly unrelated scenes - a structure which is supposed to mirror the inner state of the protagonist.
