The Lázaro family are carpenters who would rather be piano-makers. In
the dusty back room of their carpentry shop in Lisbon is the 'piano
cemetery', filled with broken-down pianos that provide the spare parts
needed for repairing and rebuilding instruments all over the city. It is
a mysterious and magical place, a place of solace, a dreaming place
and, above all, a trysting place for lovers.Peixoto weaves the
tragic true story of the marathon-runner, Francisco Lázaro, into a rich
narrative of love, betrayal, domestic happiness and dashed hopes.
