"That's me, Jane." "You'll e-mail me the contracts right away?" "That's our mom." "Great, I'll get them back to you as soon as possible." "And that's my little brother, Fred." " Really?" " This is us on the amazing day." " Okay, I'll talk to you later." " The day our mom, changed." "Kids, wasn't that fantastic?" "It's gonna be our dream home." "But, mom, now we're not gonna be in time for the show." "You'll have a room for your piano." "Sound-proofed." "You're gonna be closer to your dad and his delightful new friend." "Hi." "Yeah, I'm just taking my kids to this piano thing." "I don't know." "I'm downloading the first one right now." "Mom, that's it!" "We're here." "Your e-mails are just coming through right now." "Please take your seats." "The show is about to begin." "That's $30,000 more than my last offer." "There she is." "Mom, you've made us late." "I'll go to $750,000, but that's it." "The final offer." "Our mom is so pretty." "Don't worry, sweetie." "You're gonna thank me when we're in this dream house I'm getting us." "And pretty annoying." "Well, exactly." "I'm proposing a coordinated communication strategy." " That bag of hers is a mobile office." " Everything will run." "Thank you, Fred." "Like clockwork." "Where did these new people come from?" "They can't start bidding out of the blue like that." "Lang Lang could play all of Chopin's études when he was 13." "Really, honey?" "Eight hundred?" "Here." "Well, fortunately, I have a nice, new client." "So, I'll go eight hundred." " Mom, I have to get Lang Lang's autograph." " Fred." "So that we all enjoy our trip on the flying machine please remember to switch off your mobile phones." "Mom." "Honey, these contracts that are coming through are really important." "It's on silent." "I promise you we can get you your autograph after." "♪ We listen free" "♪ We float along" "♪ Too high to catch" "♪ Like petals in the wind" "♪ Not coming down" "♪ I print you in my mind ♪ where I can see you" "♪ Until you're home and stay with me" "♪ Leaning towards" "♪ The fading dawn" "♪ Where we're just particles" "♪ of dust and dreams" "♪ Velocity" "♪ Moving silently, we're crossing" "♪ Faster than the speed of thinking" "♪ Where we can be" "♪ Together" "♪ Stay the path we're on" "♪ Keep the faith in what" "♪ We almost touched" "♪ No more, no less" "♪ Treatise" "Hi, Murray." "Did I miss a call from you?" "Really?" "They accepted our 800?" "That's good news." "That's fantastic." "Okay, I'll talk to you then." "We got it!" "We got our dream house!" "James." "That's great news, but actually." "I need 800 now." "But.." "Why not?" "I have excellent credit history at your bank." "Mom, hurry up." "Mom, I have to meet Lang Lang." "Mom, you promised!" "Just don't go anywhere." "Look after your brother." "So, they won't budge on the 770?" "This is so unfair." "She didn't even want us around." "Well, I'm about to sign a very lucrative contract and there's plenty of other banks in the city." "So, if you won't give me what I need, then I'll get it somewhere else." "Oh, no." "Kids?" "Jane?" "Fred?" "We have to go now." "We have to leave." "I don't have time for this." "Oh, have you seen an 11-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy?" "I think they went looking for an autograph." "I don't think that's where they went." "Okay." "Jane!" "Fred!" "This is the last piano trip I'm taking you on." "You think so?" "Excuse me?" "Try seeing things their way." "Is this some kind of silly stunt that Fred put you up to?" "I thought the show was over." "That's realistic." "What is that?" "The Flying Machine." "Hello, hi." "Can you stop this ride, or whatever it is?" "Because I have important calls I need to make and contracts I need to be studying." "Studying?" "This is the world of chopin's studies." "The telescope's gone." "It must have blown off in the storm." "The kids." "Where are the kids?" "It's a map." "Chopin came to London near the end of his life." ""Here, he gave his very last concert, ill and homesick."" "Warsaw." "The Flying Machine wants to go home." "We have to get home, too." "You're right." "Mom's probably sold our home by now." "Oh Fred, don't touch that thing." "You don't know what it could..." "That's the coast." "Fred?" "Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" "Hello, hello there." "Okay." "This isn't just some kind of ride, is it?" "I don't know what's going on, but I don't think it's funny." "I'm late." "I'll lose my deal on the house." "I need to make calls." "No signal." "This is a disaster." "Where are we?" " This is the ocean." " I can see that." "It's the "Ocean étude."" ""Chopin's travels."" "Are you feeling sick?" ""Chopin sometimes traveled on account of his poor health."" "Jane!" "Fred!" ""Majorca, Spain."" "It's taking me back." "Is this in my head?" "Majorca, three shows a night, permanent blisters on my feet." "Couldn't have been any worse." ""Here, Chopin was diagnosed with the lung disease tuberculosis."" "Well, it could've been worse." ""Several times, chopin went to health spas."" "Maybe this is my subconscious telling me that I need to take a break." ""Where he drank pints of sulfurous water mixed with goat's milk and herbs."" "Not that kind of break." ""He also had bloodsucking leeches attached to his throat."" "This isn't a dream, it's a nightmare." "Am I having a nervous breakdown?" "Jane, Fred." "I need a hug." "Yeah." "That was really nice." "You've done that before." "Don't compliment me, okay?" "If this is real, this is a kidnapping." "And I know all about Stockholm Syndrome." "But this isn't real." "I mean, it really does feel like we're flying." "But, I mean, that can't be happening." "Can it?" "At least tell me where we're going." " Ask your kids." " My kids." "Well, if Fred's setting the course, we're toast." "Oh, no." "Paris." "Enough with the stupid faces." "This is serious." " Isn't it beautiful?" " Yeah." "Why hasn't mom ever brought us here?" "That's where I used to live." "Doesn't look so bad from here." "Oh, there's that flower market I used to go to." ""Chopin was a big star in Paris." "Really fashionable."" "He also had his hair done every day by his own hairdresser." "That's worse than mum!" "Cool!" "Fred, take that off." "That is wrong in so many ways." "Chopin's grave." "He was awfully young when he died." ""There were thousands of mourners when chopin was buried in Paris."" ""His grave has been covered in flowers by admirers ever since."" "Did they come all this way just to do that?" ""But according to his wishes, his heart was returned to Warsaw."" "Really?" ""And sealed in a pillar of the holy cross church."" "We still have quite a way to go." "No." "They're leaving." "And that's not the way home." " We have to follow them." " It might be a bumpy ride." "I think I've heard this one before." "It's the "Revolutionary étude."" "So, why was Chopin revolting?" "For the freedom of his country, Poland." "I thought he lived in Paris." "He lived there, as an exile." "This is dangerous." "The kids are here?" "My phone!" "We have to find our way out of this." "You know what Schumann said about Chopin's music?" "He said it was, "Cannons hidden among flowers."" "We still need to get higher." "That's not so easy." "Probably blown everything by now, anyway." "Fred, I'm really not sure we have time for a food stop." "Vienna." ""To make a career as an artist, Chopin had to leave his home in Poland"." "He started here, where all the great composers had lived."" "It's pretty dark." "Mom wouldn't want us to go down there." "Fred, I just thought, we don't have any money." "Maybe they'd have something to eat." "Hello?" "Sounds like all those composers are still here." "Maybe they're ghosts." "Would any of you have some spare food?" "Hello?" "You in there!" "I'm talking to you!" "I think Chopin must've had his work cut out trying to get heard around here." "Fred, stop it." "Fred!" "Fred!" "Stop it." "What if they really are ghosts?" "Thank goodness." "We found them." "Would you rather we just turn around and go home?" ""Chopin couldn't go back to Poland because of the uprising there."" ""He never returned home to his family."" "Wow!" "Never?" "I'm trying to listen." "I had to leave my home, too." "When I was very young, to follow my studies." "I had to leave my home and my mom." "Do you think mom's missing us?" "Of course, I'm missing you." "You're right." "All she thinks about is her work." "And her new dream home." "Well, that's not fair." "I'm doing it all for you." "I have to work." "We can't just do whatever we want." "Ever since I was a little girl" "I wanted to be in the Corps de Ballet, all in white, Les Sylphides." "But there was never enough money for the lessons." "So I scrimped and I saved." "When I was old enough, I flew to Paris." "I lived in a tiny, freezing apartment." "I did jobs I hated." "But I guess I just wasn't good enough." "Then, one day, I came home and it was flooded." "And worse, rats." "I'd been offered a real job in London." "So, I took it." "And I decided that no kids of mine would ever go through that hardship and that heartache." "I must have a tissue somewhere." "A mango tree." "In Vienna?" "That's pretty random." "Do you want to go home?" "Without my children?" "Of course not." "I didn't mean your home." "They're taking the flying machine home." "This is Poland?" "That's right." "Whatever." "Chopin's birthdays." "Chopin used to come here on holiday when he was a boy." "He loved to play jokes." "And he loved drawing cartoons." "He even made a storybook of all the crazy things he saw." "Where are the kids?" " Did you see where they went?" " They're really getting into Chopin." "Jane?" "Fred." "It's Chopin." "Bye." " Where are they?" " They're where you think." "Warsaw!" "This is where Chopin's heart was brought home." "Oh, my God." "They're gonna crash." "Fred!" "We have to get down there." "Jane?" "Fred?" "They did it." "They brought the flying machine back home." "Isn't that great?" "Great?" "They're statues." "They're lifeless." "They're lifeless." "Oh, I never should've taken them." "I never should've taken them to this piano thing." "Do something." "Bring them back to life." "Me?" "Well, what am I supposed to do?" ""Chopin loved the dances of his homeland."" ""And throughout his life, he never forgot the spirit of dance."" "Oh, no." "It's what you always dreamed of doing." "If you want their spirits back." "Why not show them some of yours?" "On three." "One." "If this ends up on YouTube, you're history." "Two." "Three." "Mum?" " Is it really you?" " Yes." "Yes." "But you were dancing." " But you were dancing." " I know." "Mum, we flew across Europe." "I know, you could've got yourself killed." "How many times have I told you not to go whooshing off on strange flying machines?" "But you brought it home." "I'm so proud of you." "But how are we going to get home?" "Well, did you think you're the only one with a flying piano?" "Hi!" "So, what's the maximum weight limit on this thing?" "Hold on." "No, this is not a taxi." "Without inspiration, it can't do anything." "Yeah, I had a station wagon like that." "It's your kids who brought us on this trip." "Hey!" " You like études?" " I love them." "But they're too hard." "Without a challenge." "We'd never learn anything." "Actually, I wanted to ask." "Sure." "I don't see how you can spread a 2.5 octave chord." "Ahh, like in the "Black Keys étude"." "You want to try duet with me?" " I can't." " Yes, you can." "I know you can do it." "All it takes is determination." "And a good teacher." "That was great." "Good job." "Thank you so much for everything." "And, I didn't mean it about the hair." "Look who it is." "It worked." "We did it." "Come on." "That's the biggest Chopin monument in the world." "In Shanghai, China." "My country." "China?" "This piano stuff is pretty amazing." "If you really let it, it can take you anywhere." "Anywhere." "Even home." "Too low!" "Too high!" "It's Les Sylphides." "That's Chopin's, too, isn't it?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Fred, she was fantastic." "That was incredible." "You enjoyed the show?" "Yes!" "I particularly like your spread 2.5 Octave Chords." "What?" "Lang Lang just showed me how to practice them." "She's pretty good." "She should keep it up." "She's fantastic, and she will." "Fred!" ""To Jane and Fred."" "Just as long as he doesn't turn études into paper planes again." "The piano." "Where's the telescope gone?" "Mom, it was the flying machine that had a telescope." "In the film." "Is that me?" "Fred, did you download this ringtone?" "I love it!" "Aren't you going to answer it?" "You know what?" "I don't think that I will!" "Wasn't it important?" " The new house, your dream home?" " You two are my home, silly." "You know what's important?" "It's that I take you guys out for an ice cream." "Mango!" "You can tell me all about the flying machine." " Lang Lang said I was good at piano." " He did?" "You are!" "You're so good." "You can practice all you want." "I can't wait to hear you." "And that was the day mom changed." "I thought we were going to the show just for me." "But it turned out, Chopin was for all of us."
