Overview
A man explains how he was obsessed when he was younger by a mysterious room and an extraordinary rarefied piano music that drifted through its open window during the night. Forty years later, returning to his home town after having spent most of his life abroad, in "a bunch of different places", he asks one of his friends to rent a room for him. As chance would have it, it turns out to be the same room which attracted him when he was a young man. What drew him again to this room?

00:00:46 I don't know what it was about this place thatfirst caught my eye,
00:01:00 It was just a room, but there was something about it.
00:01:29 There was music coming out. And it mesmerized me.
00:01:47 One of them was always open, day and night.
00:02:07 The other window was always closed. And he had a curtain.
00:02:18 At night, music would drift through the open window out onto the street.
00:02:55 Me.
00:03:11 Most of her friends would go riding.
00:03:39 I was curious.
00:03:52 But there was never anybody here. And I didn't ring the doorbell.
00:04:30 My inner voice said it was my imagination.
00:04:42 the music was still there. And it was very real.
00:05:00 Now it was just an ordinary house with empty rooms.
00:05:12 After that, I avoided the street altogether.
00:05:22 Lived in a bunch of different places, different jobs,
00:05:34 I asked a friend to find me a place to stay for a couple of weeks.
00:05:47 I never seen this room before.
00:06:08 I'm just calling to let you know what's going on here.
00:06:51 Could be, I guess. When you get older, you get more scared.
00:06:58 You miss more things or people or animals.
00:07:21 Wallpaper...
00:07:32 The room had been empty for all this time.
00:07:46 Got up once to take a leak, watched the day break.
00:08:13 It is the room. Where i wil die.
