Plots(1)
Tom (Romain Duris) is an aspiring musician who plays seedy bars in the backstreets of Paris. The one thing tearing him away from his music is the example set by his father - a sleazy life of crime which Tom seems set to follow. But when he meets by chance a friend of his concert pianist mother’s, his musical ambitions are rekindled and he strives to make a better life for himself. (Artificial Eye)
