Synopsis

Amid the bleak shadows of the Great Depression, a disillusioned sheet music salesman clings to fleeting dreams of escape. His world, weighed down by hardship and despair, is momentarily lifted by the enchanting melodies of popular 1930s songs—songs that burst forth in haunting, surreal bursts of silent performance, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.

Caught in this turbulent era, his heart is captured by an innocent schoolteacher, whose presence kindles a fragile hope amid the darkness. Together, they navigate a landscape where love and longing intertwine with the bittersweet strains of music, offering a poignant glimpse of beauty amid the struggle for survival. In this evocative tale, every note and whispered lyric becomes a desperate yearning for a life beyond the shadows.
