The Film
Keys to the City
Ian Moubayed | US | 32 min.
Keys to the City, follows the story of Matthew Ballard, an aging Brooklyn locksmith struggling to unlock a higher acceptance to the changes in his life and city. In the month before retiring, Matthew’s outgoing boss reveals he must train George Goga, a brazen first generation immigrant to take his place. The documentary captures Matthew and George on a bumpy journey across the city as they face funny, bizarre, and often tender encounters inside the homes of colorful New Yorkers.
At a time when the clouds of the pandemic are lifting, Keys to the City plays like a lyrical ode to the New York we remember best.
