Hannah (8) lives with her father, a professional composer. The global COVID-19 pandemic has put him out of work, and for weeks now he's been having difficulty getting out of bed. We watch his downheartedness through Hannah's eyes. She tries various ways to get his attention, without success, until she hits upon a great idea. She decides to photocopy the last pages of music that he wrote and distributes them in their neighborhood. She struggles to make her plan work, until several musicians start playing her father's composition in harmonic unison. It is heard from balconies and rooftops. From windows and courtyards. Hannah's father recognizes his music, comes back to his senses, and sees his daughter for the first time in a long time.
