AMBITUS

By Louise Mejstelman

Joseph Lifchitz, once the most promising young American jazz trumpeter, now lives his last days alone and forgotten in his room in the middle of Paris. Torn apart by the loss of the love of his life, a pianist, he wants to compose one last music piece in her memory; but he does not have much time, and grief and illness prevent him from finishing. Until one night, when a piano starts playing over Paris. At first conflicted with the daily intrusion, his new dialogue with the outside will alllow him to overcome his obstacles and finish the work of a lifetime, just in time.
