Movie Haiku:Thomas Seyr (Duris) is torn between the earthy needs of his petulant father & the ethereal passions of his dead mother. Some days his hands are broken & bleeding, he’s his father’s enforcer; but other days these same hands play gorgeous piano pieces. Thug or artist: who’s the “real” Tom?
