In this musical short, conceptual artist Mario Mariotti uses only his painted hands to create an orchestra, conductor and choir. Mariotti's figures dextrously play percussion, brass and string instruments, performing a robust orchestral rendition of the Happy Birthday theme. Musical harmony is shattered, however, when the flutist sounds a wrong note, causing the conductor to contort in horror.
