”Glass, My Unfulfilled Life”, is the coming of age story of a 52-year old man pursuing a crazy childhood dream: becoming a musician on the singing glasses. For a 7 years period, this docu-comedy follows the hilarious and moving journey of our hapless (anti)hero, as he seeks fame, love and fortune as a street musician: from building himself his first glass organ to a moving encounter with the famous composer Arvo Part, and from his first steps on the street to a disasterous misadventure in Dubai; ending in a never expected 'grand finale'.
A humorous, moving feel good movie, and a celebration of the vitalizing powers of music.
