The scenery is the city with its impatient soul, distracted movements
and frenetic heartbeats. From a room the voice of a piano accompanies
the steps of a wayfarer. The man walks through the streets of the city
and his thoughts tell of persecuted people and people at the edge of
the world. Every time he passes by someone, quietly he gives and
something change, but nobody notices it.
A metaphorical journey through the city, the soul of an unknown poet
and the music of a pianist who "watching" the city from a small room
suspended between the immense sky and a giant skyscraper. At the end
of a journey of life what reallly matters is the love we give to
others and also to our enemies.
