Synopsis
Follows six subway performers as they struggle to earn a living and defend their right to perform in New York City's underground. Among those you'll meet are the Mercury Man, a struggling actor who stands motionless for hours at a time; Julio, a Colombian immigrant who dances with a life-sized doll attached to his shoes; and Helen, a Vassar graduate who in her forties reinvents herself as an accordion-playing chanteuse. Each weathers a rollercoaster year of personal successes and defeats, remaining true to their art despite struggles with the police, city bureaucracy, money, complex pasts, addiction, and loneliness.
