The Music Practice

Activities in the gardens of a suburban street. Mother argues with her son that he should be practicing his clarinet rather than playing computer games. Mother goes out; sister fantasising about romance. Musicians arrive in coach, instruments play themselves, people on the street talking to each other, boy playing saxophone, roller skaters, mother dances with busker, more dancers, people on the street also dancing, mother juggling in supermarket, musicians, more dancers. All back to normal as mother walks home. Credits.
