Glass, My Unfulfilled Life

2023, Netherlands, 94, Rogier Kappers

Synopsis

In this original and funny self-portrait, moving between hope, despair and heartbreak, Rogier Kappers pursues a childhood dream: to become a famous musician playing the glass organ, an instrument made of singing glasses. From building his first organ and getting an autograph from his idol Arvo Pärt, to a disastrous trip to Dubai, frantic work on his sinking holiday house, and a never expected ‘grande finale’, we follow Kappers on his quest for fame, love and fortune.
