In a war-torn town in Syria, young musician Tarek resolves to sell his precious piano to finance his escape to Europe, where he dreams of one day playing with an orchestra. When Islamic State terrorists find and try to destroy it, he must try to get it fixed in time to pay the smuggler who will get him out of the country. Piano parts prove impossible to get, however. Time is running out when a new, crazily dangerous chance presents itself. Set in 2014 and inspired by real events, Broken Keys is an expansion of Jimmy Keyrouz’s short film Nocturne in Black, with music by Gabriel Yared.
