Aberdeen finds our characters on the road to Aberdeen in Scotland.... storyline is between father and daughter regarding their reconciliation as they prepare to visit her dying mother. The big surprise is her father may not really be her father.

Preisner captures the tone and mood of the story. The piano solo (Leszek Mozdzer) is a lingering theme, interwoven at times with the voice of Stina Nordenstam, and creates feelings of dreamlike drifting. Mesmerizing counter-melodies featuring John Parricelli (guitar) completely enter your body and soul. Preisner's seventeen cues are memorable themes that leave you wanting more, and the 40+ minute soundtrack is scoring at its compelling best.

Preisner's scoring for films have been very successful with The Double Life Of Veronika and three albums of scores for Three Colors: Blue, White and Red (sales of these reaching platinum CD status by Poland's musical standards). Another outstanding score is The Last September with beautiful and compelling music. Finally, the unforgettable Agnieszka Holland's Secret Garden. This is one composer you can always count on for substance and orchestration to die for, I guarantee it!
