Between the White Key and the Black Key

• Watchlist

Hiroshi is an excellent pianist with a passion for jazz. But making a living from his talent in Tokyo in 1988 is no easy task. He is reduced to playing in cabarets and hostess bars in the underworld district of Ginza. The least that can be said is that the public pays no attention to his music. Worse still, the young man gets into trouble when he agrees to play the love theme from the film "The Godfather" for a yakuza, which irritates an enemy mafioso who considers the piece to be reserved for him.
