A delightful, visually vibrant short about two street musicians competing for a child's coin, told through playful musical rivalry and charming character dynamics.

With one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, a peasant girl encounters two competing street performers who'd prefer the coin find its way into their tip jars. The little girl, Tippy, is caught in the middle as a musical duel ensues between the one-man-bands.
