The sounds of a piano being tuned transport a Japanese boy to his mountain village with its scent of warm earth and falling leaves and determines his future. As he follows life's tortuous path, searching for purpose and meaning, he constantly asks himself: Have I got what it takes? And there is always the piano, the forest of wool and steel. A poetic, hypnotic tale to enchant and enthral.
