Church of the Holy Canadian Martyrs

In the story · Steiner plays the organ

A real filming location. Inside the church Steiner climbs to the organ and plays a piece by Bach for Marcello, a quiet moment of beauty in the middle of the film. The organ scene was filmed in this church's interior, while the outside shown belongs to San Giovanni Bosco.
