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. Over seven years, 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 his first glass organ to a moving encounter with the famous composer Arvo Pärt, and from his first steps on the street to a disastrous misadventure in Dubai, culminating in an unexpected “grand finale.” A fresh, funny, and deeply honest feel-good movie, and a celebration of the vitalising power of music.
