Storyline

Glenn is a disillusioned piano teacher, who once aspired to be a concert pianist. He is moving back to his parents house and is on the brink of giving up the piano for good when Kilov, a Russian gangster, offers him a unique opportunity: £10,000 if Glenn teaches his daughter Beethoven's "Fur Elise"... in a day.

Quotes

Glenn Millberg: [sees her tears] What's wrong?... I am the one who should be crying... Jesus... I always wanted to become a concert pianist... I'm 31, I can't pay my rent, and tomorrow I'll be living with my parents again... with broken hands.
Mila: Glenn, take me!
Glenn Millberg: What?
Mila: [hugs him] Take me away from him!
