Mozart and Munchies plot
In her early years, Ann-Marie Fröier was a gifted concert pianist and was celebrated as one of the best performers of Mozart's pieces. But the pianist is also manic-depressive, and that sometimes got in the way of her career and private life. Now she is 87 years old and lives virtually anonymously in Stockholm. Every now and then she plays the piano during lessons in a ballet studio of a friend, as dexterous as ever. But otherwise she lives withdrawn in her cluttered house, overflowing with papers and knick-knacks – even in the large wing that dominates the living room, piles of paper and her favorite cookies are stored. But Fröier is going to play again: she rents the small hall of the Stockholm Concert Hall and enlists an orchestra to accompany her. So she rehearses (sometimes reluctantly and always impatiently) and puts up posters all over town to fill the 450 seats. Filmmaker Marie Lundberg follows the energetic, chain-smoking Fröier in her mission, and lets her speak extensively: about the struggle with her depression and manic periods, about the burden this placed on her family life, and about her endless love for music.
