Glass, My Unfulfilled Life

Director:
Rogier Kappers

Glass, My Unfulfilled Life is the tragi-comic coming of old age story of 52-year-old Rogier
Kappers, who pursues his childhood dream: he wants to become a famous street musician on the glass organ, an instrument made of singing wine glasses. In the film we follow our (anti-)hero on his sometimes hilarious, yet always moving quest for fame, love and fortune. From building his own glass organ, to a passionate encounter with the world-famous composer Arvo Pärt, from the first steps as a street musician to a disastrous adventure in Dubai and up to the never-expected 'grand finale'...
