Rather than dwell at length on the frustrated promise of Brico's early career, Antonia shows us Brico at work today. A memorable sequence of shots has Brico coaching a young woman for her piano debut with Brico's symphony, culminating in that debut itself. The young woman strides out on the stage, amid Brico's tears of pride, with the glowing energy of youth for whom all things are still possible.
