Plot Synopsis

Documentary director Heddy Honigmann uncovers the startling stories of the musicians who play for a living on the Parisian underground. The familiar guitarists are joined by people with every conceivably portable instrument, including harps. But it's their backgrounds that are arresting as ordinary buskers can be revealed to be professional orchestra players playing for francs after being exiled from their own countries.
