Did you know? The piano piece the protagonist plays during the surreal encounter is actually a hidden track from the composer’s own abandoned debut album, which he performed live for the first and only time in that single take.
Why Watch: Stuck in a creative and personal rut? *In The Middle Of Something* is a beautifully surreal indie gem that turns one disastrous gig into a profound meditation on fatherhood and marriage, proving sometimes a single wrong note is the key to finding your true melody.
A struggling pianist, drowning in the chaos of a disastrous performance, finds himself haunted by failure as a father and husband—until a bizarre, dreamlike meeting hints that he’s been striking the wrong chord all along.
