Allegro
We have this man, and he must,
to put it poetically -
- bite the dust
so that he can understand -
- he is loved by this woman.
It's as simple as that.
Well, almost that simple.
Let's take it from the beginning.
Let's draw a line...
Zetterstrm is born... here.
In the years to come he grows older,
bigger and more experienced -
- as one does.
In many ways he's an ordinary
boy. He tastes his first soft ice -
- tries the local merry-go-round -
- but one day he listens to a record
with Michelangeli, the pianist -
- which leaves
a lasting impression on him.
- where he can elude
life's disappointments.
Shit!
There, now...
Come again.
- Dammit!
- Mind your language, please!
- Shit...
- You play wonderfully.
Come and sit down.
- Don't give me that attitude.
- I can't play it.
Yes, you can. Everyone makes
mistakes. It's only to be expected.
You don't believe me? Why don't
you ever believe what I tell you?
It's very frustrating. How can I teach
you, if you don't believe me?
Come and sit down.
Zetterstrm, I know you can.
Play something more delicate.
Zetterstrm's teacher tries
in her own way to help, but in vain.
is also the key to his failure.
His quest for perfection
- yet further and further away
from life itself.
But deep within, where even
he cannot see, he yearns...
... he yearns for love.
I don't believe it!
Is something the matter?
No, I just seem to have lost
my keys. Or forgotten them.
- Did you just lose them?
- No, it probably happened ages ago.
It doesn't matter. Forget it.
I'll have to call a locksmith.
Why are you so dressed up?
It's because... I was playing.
I hate this thing!
- Can I help you?
- I don't think I can...
What the hell is wrong?
Let me see...
You want it off?
Here you go...
It's nice.
You think so?
Then keep it.
- No.
- I hate it. Take it. Please.
- Really?
- Yes, I hate it.
- Why do you wear it then?
- It goes with the territory.
Nothing goes with the territory.
Just don't wear it.
Make it your trademark.
Are you coming?
I could keep you company.
Would you like that?
Would I like that?
- Does that seem strange to you?
- Yes. Well, no... maybe not.
Well, if that isn't one
of life's ironic twists...
A little mistake introduces him to
Andrea, who becomes his great love.
In no particular order they
experience happiness, sorrow, loss -
- and tenderness.
Where are you going?
- To play.
- Now?
- Aren't you tired?
- No.
You're very beautiful.
You make me very happy.
God, if you didn't exist...
I'd have to build you.
Why?
You make me play better.
Is that the only reason?
I feel almost human
when I'm with you.
- Almost?
- Yes. No need to exaggerate.
- Yes?
- You'll be there shortly, right?
Yes. I'm almost ready.
- I'll be there, darling. See you soon.
- Bye.
Go on.
Get moving.
- Hi. Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Where's Andrea?
- On her way. Is everything ready?
Yes... Shall we wait for her?
- No, she'll be right over.
- Let's go upstairs then.
- Is something the matter?
- No, I can't seem to find Andrea.
- I don't think she's been here.
- She was at the back of the room.
No, she wasn't.
That's where I was standing.
- Do you think something is wrong?
- No, of course not.
I don't think
she just left me.
Will I regret we're together?
No, why should you?
Andrea has gone.
Now what?
Zetterstrm decides to forget.
Quite simply.
