The Piano Room



Igor Ivanov Izi : 2013
Soba so pijano

A fable about the destinies of the guests who stay in the room with the piano in a hotel that is up for sale. This room, that hides them from the hypocrisy of the world outside, is the only place where they can find some kind of fulfilment. Although far from similar, as representatives of completely different social and cultural groups, all share emptiness in their life. As the years pass like revolving doors, motives become frustrations, ambition and fantasy lead to ruin. The fragments from the lives of these existentialist characters are sufficient for us to see all their lives, and they're intertwined around the central character, the Maid. She is young and silent. She makes the room in between the scenes with the other characters, and writes letters. Life begins, life ends, and lives are changed forever in the piano room. Only the Maid, oblivious to the thwarted dreams that check in and out, seems to move forward. Igor Ivanov Izi's second feature received its international premiere at Belgrade International Film Festival 2014.
