Un toit, un violon, la lune -- Film Description:
"They were singers, musicians, painters, writers, variety artists. Some were famous and successful, some were not. They are no longer young but they were loved by their audience and they dream of being artists still. They are touching, vibrant, funny. They live under the same roof, at the Chez-Nous des Artistes in Montreal, an apartment complex for retired artists. A former cabaret dancer recalls how the 'topless' put her out of work; a singer with a voice like Edith Piaf still gives shows for a faithful following; a lyrical soprano whose glory was long ago sings a heart-rending ballad by moonlight; a jazz musician who had to sell his instruments makes a comeback with borrowed drums and vibraphone; a witty writer with a philosophical turn of mind talks lucidly of life and death. A bittersweet portrait of the human condition, with its ups and downs, its laughter and its tears."
