The characters keep us engaged, and Sulima, who doubled as cinematographer, achieves startling and frightening sequences throughout the journey.

This project might easily strike you as more trouble than it's worth. The scenery is beautiful, though, and the final scenes are quite touching.

The result is a breathtakingly shot journey where the piano seems in constant peril.

A compelling documentary about the absurd ends people will go to. It is a fun watch, if a little unsatisfactory at the end,

I randomly turned on the tv and this caught my eye. And then it captured me. Brilliant film covering much bigger topics than simply the obvious adventure. Imagine a world without money. Start there….

Documentary... Eccentric London piano tuner decides to deliver piano to Zanskar, and the journey involves travelling over Indian mountain range with average height of 20,000 ft. As you can imagine not all goes to plan. Beautiful and amazing scenery.

I have to say, this completely exceeded my expectations. It was so much more funny, moving, and human than what I'd anticipated would be a rather dry and procedural story. It was up for an audience choice award at the film festival where I saw it, and I decided to give it 5/5 stars for several reasons: the beautiful scenery and effective cinematography, the compelling story, the humor and respect for all involved, and the sheer effort it must have taken to physically (and emotionally) make it happen. I would strongly recommend it to just about anybody!
