The Keys Of Life centers around a piano, placed out on the street of a major city in America. While most people walk past in the course of their daily commute, a few individuals pause to sit down and play a tune. While the music starts at the piano, the beauty of the music and the moment spreads throughout the passersby into full-scale musical numbers.
