Synopsis:  

 

Trevor is an old English gentleman who has fallen hopelessly in love with someone he has never actually met. Someone he has never actually seen. He has lived in a flat across the lane from the object of his affection for more than 30 years. But he has never had the nerve to introduce himself. He knows this person only by her--or his--piano playing, which he has listened to, and adored for more than 3 decades. For 30 years, he has rehearsed how he might present himself to his would-be lover. Always finding flaws in his approach. Always making contingency plans. And always putting it off till another time. But maybe this time....
