Everything that falls – An airplane is in a difficult situation and drops a load on the forest. The following day, two boys find, among other things, a piano and some scores. With the help of an adult, they learn to play the piano and improve their skills. During a concert in a cultural centre, the Minister of Culture notices them and decides to found a music school. Some years later, one of the two friends teaches music and the other directs TV shows about “The art of sounds”.
