The story. The concert of a famous band-master Miller in Geneva has just ended. Maestro is displeased with the orchestra and extremely irritated. A spectator, who arrived especially from Belgium, enters Miller’s dressing room. He admires Miller’s music and hopes to get an autograph and a photo of maestro. But is it that simple or there is an ulterior motive? This meeting is going to change their lives, their lines of thinking. It will be a contest.

‘The Fake note’ is almost a detective story, where the victim and the hangman sometimes change places and keep the audience in suspense.
