This film introduces you to street musicians who earn their living in the passages of the Paris metro, and invites you into their modest lodgings, where they speak about their families, their hopes, and their fears. In each case, music has been key to survival--more than just a way to wangle loose change from fellow Parisians, it is a way to maintain a connection, however tenuous, with a world otherwise lost to them. "The musicians are not victims," insists Honigmann. "They do suffer, they have to endure a lot, but they live and fight, enjoy life and have their happiness." 1997, The Netherlands, color, 35mm, in French/Romanian/Spanish with English subtitles, 108 minutes.
