Chicago 10
Synopsis
A short film about an old piano, Victoria, and the people who play her. Located in the St. Anthony Dining Room in San Francisco, Victoria is visited and played daily by many members of San Francisco’s homeless and low-income population. Despite being out of tune, missing keys and having broken pedals, Victoria, as one guest says, ‘…is just like us; she may be all broken but she still plays, she still has a melody.’ An upright grand that has physically seen better days and has a mostly unknown history, Victoria, it could be argued, has never sounded so good.
