El pequeño pianista
Director
The Little Pianist explores the life of a frog marionette that plays piano on the streets of Barcelona. What qualities does a marionette possess to make its audience forget – albeit fleetingly – this frenetic modern-day life? To take them back through their memories and recall their dreams? In this documentary, almost narrated by the frog’s creator, the presence of the marionette predominates, making the puppeteer virtually invisible.
