Gauche the Cellist poster

Overview

Gauche is a diligent but mediocre cellist who plays for a small town orchestra and the local cinema in the early 20th century. He struggles during rehearsals and is often berated by his conductor during preparations for an upcoming performance of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. Over the course of four nights, Gauche is visited at his mill house home by talking animals as he is practicing.

00:05:32 Oh... what a pain.
00:07:23 And you, Goshu.
00:08:43 Well, then...
00:14:25 Look at that. Picking them before they're even ripe.
00:16:17 What did you say to play?
00:19:30 Oh, is that so? So... are you okay? You didn't hurt yourself?
00:24:45 All you ever sing is "cuckoo, cuckoo."
00:25:33 But, you see... I want to learn to sing the scale correctly.
00:26:20 This is what I mean.
00:27:29 Get out!
00:30:05 Why, of all the cheeky--! Do you expect me to continue this ridiculous mockery forever?
00:34:33 Do you know what raccoon stew is?
00:35:34 See these?
00:37:44 Well... Could you play it once more?
00:42:07 And even that nasty old Mrs. Owl got better.
00:43:12 Yes. Their circulation improves greatly...
00:44:11 Look, he's okay. So stop crying out like that.
00:46:35 but we've certainly never gone near your cupboard, and I hope you wouldn't think we would do so now after all you've done for us.
00:51:04 No. That won't do. Anything we perform after a great piece like that... wouldn't even begin to satisfy me.
00:52:10 You just watch! I'll play "The Indian Tiger-Hunt."
00:54:37 Maestro! Did I really...
00:55:58 Come on, let's go, Goshu. We'll celebrate with a few beers.
