Thats why I am offering you a lot of money

The film is a dark comedy about a disillusioned piano teacher Glenn (Blake Ritson), 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 a Russian gangster Kilov (Olegar Fedoro) offers him a unique opportunity: Â£10,000 if Glenn teaches Kilov's daughter (who has never played piano) Beethoven's "FÃ¼r Elise"... in a day - an impossible task.
