Somewhere Here

Ergens Hier

Geert Chatrou whistles his way through life, both literally and figuratively speaking. In 2004 and 2005, he won the world whistling championships in the United States without a single instrument accompanying him. To his amazement, his improvised rendition of Star-Spangled Banner got him a standing ovation. After his American triumph, Chatrou made the rounds of all sorts of concerts and events, such as the Bühnebal celebration in Germany, where he performed a piece by Vivaldi. Director Jasper ten Berge, a student at the Utrecht School of Arts, focuses on Chatrou's sunny disposition in this short documentary, and joins him on a trip to Krakow. Chatrou's amazing talent revealed itself at an early age - when he heard music, he whistled along, anytime and anywhere.
