The story begins with Hannah, a young Jewish teen, as she is completing her senior year of high school. Her Brooklyn neighborhood is falling apart and SING! is one of the only traditions that keep the neighborhood alive. Newly arrived teacher, Miss Lombardo grew up in the neighborhood and returned to be their SING! leader. One cold Christmas night, Miss Lombardo is leaving a neighborhood party when a young man hails her a cab, then attempts to mug her.

Le film est l’histoire de deux frères. Le plus âgé (Roberto) découvre une manière neuve de représenter la réalité dans le cinéma: le néoréalisme. Le plus jeune, musicien, réalise des commentaires musicaux de cette nouvelle identité filmique. Quand ils sont arrivés à l’âge mûr, ils se rendent compte de l’insuffisance de leur art et ils en tirent, chacun à sa manière, leurs conclusions.
