New Yorker Coalhouse Walker Jr is a black piano player, who has won fame and fortune playing with a jazz band. Some white men do not like this situation, and one day they assault him and spoil his brand new car. Walker tries by all means to get justice and to obtain satisfaction for this racially-motivated vandalism. A magnificent tapestry of American life at the beginning of the century, adapted from the book by EL Doctorow.
